Murder of Sirsa cult disciples: ₹ 5M bounty announced by Punjab Police

FEROZEPUR, Punjab—The Punjab police have announced bounty worth Rupees 5 million in the recent murder case of Sacha Sauda supporters in Punjab.  Two Sirsa cult disciples were shot dead on February 25 at village Jageda near Ahmedgarh (on Ludhiana-Malerkotla highway) by two masked assailants. The police have also announced to award Sub-Inspector level post in Punjab police to whoever will provide information about the killers of cult disciples Satpal Sharma and his son Ramesh Sharma.

Speaking with Sikh24 on March 4, the Ludhiana range Deputy Inspector General Surinder Kumar Kalia informed that a high level investigation committee has been constituted to unearth the killing episode. He added that the CCTV footage of nearby places have been taken under possession by the Police and the investigation team was working hard to bring the culprits to justice.   

DIG Kalia further said that it seems like the killers of Sirsa cult disciples were same who had murdered RSS’ Vice-Chief of Punjab Jagdish Gagneja last year in August.

It is pertinent to note here that the Punjab police had announced the same bounty and other rewards in the murder case of Jagdish Gagneja but the police couldn’t unearth the murder mystery.

Police have recovered cartridges of .32 revolver from the incident spot.

The Director General of Police (Punjab) Suresh Arora tried to connect the incident by terming it as an offshoot amid the ongoing conflict between the Sirsa cult and Sikh community.

Earlier, Malaudh Station House Officer (SHO) Ravinder Kumar did not subscribe to the view that Sikh activists were behind the murders. “It may be a case of personal rivalry because the killers targeted only Satpal and his son, and did not hurt the other cult followers at the spot,” said Kumar.

It has come to fore that hours before the Khanna shooting incident, a congregation of Sirsa cult was also disrupted at Makhu town in Zira sub-division of Ferozepur district.

It is pertinent to note here that the congregations of Sirsa cult were banned in Punjab in 2007 after the violent clashes between Sikhs and cult followers. Sirsa cult chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim had hurt the Sikh sentiments in May-2007 by wearing attire like tenth Sikh master Guru Gobind Singh Ji. An edict was issued from the Supreme Sikh throne Sri Akal Takht Sahib directing Sikh masses to socially boycott Sirsa cult head and its followers.

Recently, the Shiromani Akali Dal led Punjab government had ensured the Sirsa cult to lift ban over its congregations in Punjab in return of cult’s support to SAD-BJP candidates in the assembly polls.

  1. You may be a good person, but we understand from the events in panjab, it is RSS with the help of BJP Badal jundli they are trying to create disturbances in panjab, because they know they are going out of power, so that they can create problems for new government. These people tear angs (pages) of shri Guru Granth Sahib & throw them in front of dera premi & then kill dera premi, so that sikhs & dera premi fight, that’s why they don’t arrest any person & to fool people, they announce big rewards.

  2. I never hurt any human being in my life . But we can not be a spectator on the treatment we are getting in Sikh majority Punjab . Where they want us to become second grade citizens and follow their rules .

  3. In your life, do something good for humanity so that your generations feel proud to be a Hindu. Sant Jarnail Singh ji Bhinderawale used to say ” If you’re a Hindu become puran Hindu, & if you’re a sikh become puran Sikh.

  4. This is soul of India, killing bodhies, Sikhs, Muslims, Christians, dalits, spreading hate by BJP, RSS, ABVP, this is soul of India, be reasonable, human life is valuable he may Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, or bodhi, please.

  5. Just look at the downfall of soch of Hinduism from Harish chander saraswati to Harish Sharma, every body knows who destroyed babri masjid, Pushymitra killed the last king of Ashoka raj & then killed thousands of Bodhies, destroyed hundreds of bodhi muths & most of the bodhies left India. Where is Nalanda university, there should be a limit.

  6. But Hindus are only 40% left in Punjab . Wherever we are minority rulers try to destroy us . But wherever Hindus are in majority , all other minorities live peacefully . Once one Jewish writer said , they got persecuted in all part of world , but India is the only country in the world where we got respect and rights . India is the country where 2nd mosque was built of world . Land was given by Hindu raja . Bodh dharma comes from hindutva . Hindutva is soul of India . Without hindutva India will be body without soul .

  7. So you guys are saying ,Muslims are very peaceful and they did not kill 3 Lakhs of Hindus in Kashmir . I don’t agree with above statements .

  8. If Indira can do, Rajiv can do, why not Modi who has past experience of killing Muslims. Now again they can do to sikhs, muslims, & dalits. Beef- bandi, note- bandi, jan gan man, if couldn’t work, then the next step may be you always say ‘genocide’, if he couldn’t not win in UP, panjab & Goa, which will be foolishness, Hitler gone, Indira, Rajiv gone, couldn’t change anything, but curse on India.

  9. It is not the Indian govt which is doing these events .
    These are all foreign powers out to disturb peace in Punjab.
    Punjab police along with CBI need to investigate and find out the group which is conspiring to turn Punjab into another Syria or Iraq.
    I as an Sikh have never even once felt the desire to hurt an non Sikh least of all Hindu with whom we have Family bonds.
    So many of our children have married into Hindu families.

  10. You’re are right to some extent, but don’t cover the soch of rulers with the word ’empire’. You should have some courage to say it’s rulers with Hindutva soch. The theory of Nationalism came from your empire more than 100 years before, but Indian rulers want to apply now. Instead of following western rulers should find new system which is good for Indians. Rulers want to make different flowers only flower of ‘kamal ‘ which is impossible & kamlapan.

  11. These events in last one year are Empire sponsored to take Punjab back to 1980 -90 period.

    1) Beadabi of Guru Granth Sahib
    2) Coup Sarbatt Khalsa
    3) Targeted killings of BJP, Namdhari,and Dera Sacha Sauda leaders .

    Punjab police in connection with CBI must unearth the men who are in conspiracy to turn Punjab into another Syria or Iraq .
    These events must stop forthwith or Punjab will go burn like in 1980-1990 period.

  12. Sikhs don’t kill any religion.
    Those who did this killing are evil people and should be caught and Punished.
    Rather over 30,000 Sikhs were cruelly killed in 1980 -90 period .
    This is again a Trap by EMPIRE to carry out Genocide-4 of the Sikhs.
    Some in identified persons kill Mr Sharma.
    Being in Punjab the blame is put on Sikhs.
    Sikhs are labelled as Terrorists and a genocide 4 is carried out.
    The killers are hired men of EMPIRE out to take Punjab back to the days of 1980 to 1990 period.

  13. Rulers don’t have any religion, he maybe Indra, Modi, or Badal, they just want to rule by hook & crook. We know the role of rulers in changing the movement of more rights to state to attacking on Darbar Sahib & killing of thousands of sikhs. The role of Hindu of panjab always remain negative regarding the problems of panjab, it may be panjabi, more rights or river waters. Hindu should change his thinking towards panjab & sikhs.

  14. You are not a saint miss Kaur . I am not a big believer of conspiracy theories . But this is case of hate against Hindus which is spreading in Punjab because in Punjab rulers are Sikhs and Hindus are minority’s .

    • You are wrong Mr Sharma.
      Sikhs don’t hate Hindus or any other religion for that matter.
      It needs a probe by CBI to unearth the conspiracy.

    • How sikh rulers hate hindus please make sure you know ol the facts properly Sikh gurus always saved hindu community nd common people dont want such hater issues Every common person just want t live peacefully And mr sharma i think we dont have t convey such things minorities nd all We ol know that who is minor in Hindustan

    • Hmmmm… Im confused. According to your statement, shouldn’t there be rewards also given to find murderers of Sikhs? Some in this equation is not adding up. I wonder who’s side the gov’t is truly on??!!

  15. Agencies do all this type of work, they killed these persons & then beadbi of shri Guru Granth Sahib ji, so that sikhs & dera premi fight. These agencies are doing from last two years, they are repeating the same what they did in 80’s, Killing six Hindus near dhilwan from a bus then killed thousands of sikhs. People should understand, & awaken public.

  16. Now no peaceful community will not say anything about it because two Hindus were killed .This is double standards of the Punjab where these militants forces are killing innocent Hindus. But it will come back to those guys sooner or later . Because this is karma.

    • No one is allowed to violate the human rights of anyone and heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims. A true sikh will never do it.Stop accusing anyone until all the facts come out.

    • people in Punjab are killed everyday because people who ruthless and stupid, all over India murders occur everyday, you’re just purposely here trying to discredit and defame the Sikh community, but not everyone in India gets killed by the government, only minorities and low caste get killed by the people who are rulers and are supposed to follow the rule of law but they are corrupt and abuse their powers, we speak out against all murders but whats always most dangerous to society is STATE terrorism and Indian government commits state terrorism against its people everyday and they killed over 100, 000 Sikhs and got away with murder and they also hired black cats to kill poor migrant worker low caste hindus who were in Punjab and they blamed it on Sikhs.
