Breaking: Man Attacks Takht, Apprehended by Sangat

Guru_Nanak_Gurdwara_Delta-Surrey_(2010)Surrey, BC, Canada—On Sunday, June 9th, a man approached Guru Sahib’s takht at Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara after the weekly program at 2 PM and attempted to disrespectfully pull out and attack Sri Guru Granth Sahib’s saroop. He was grabbed by the sangat and held for police. The man, whose identity remains unknown, pushed the Sevadaar doing Chaur Seva and attempted to pull the Manji Sahib off the Takht.

Sikh24 has learned that the man was not easy to apprehend and sustained some injuries after he attacked sangat members and threw microphones at them. He is currently in hospital.

The motive for the attack is not currently known.

Update: The man was able to pull the manji sahib and the saroop of Guru Sahib almost fell but the Granthi Singh was able to stop this in time. The sevadars did sukhasan and ardas for forgiveness before doing parkash of another saroop.
