The youth who were arrested had arrived from various parts of Punjab, including Gurdaspur, Amritsar, Tarn Taran, Ferozepur, Mukatsaar, Nawan Shehar, Ludhiana etc. A Britain based Sikh named Deepinder Singh (Derby) was also among those arrested. Father of Deepinder Singh had blamed the SGPC for leveling false charges against his son.

It can be revealed the SGPC and Punjab Government had implemented strict security measures during the 31st anniversary ofGhallughara June 1984.  The task force of the SGPC and the Punjab Police were successful in controlling any unwanted incident at Sri Akal Takht Sahib during the morning of June 6. But during the afternoon, a group of Sikh youth had a minor scuffle as the SGPC tried to stop them in the parkarma.  These Sikhs were later arrested.
