2.78 lakh looted from Golden Temple complex

Amritsar, December 26

Unidentified men looted Rs 2.78 lakh from the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) cash collection centre inside Guru Nanak Nivas on the Golden Temple complex this evening, the SGPC said.

SGPC secretary Raghbir Singh said the thieves broke into the collection centre by twisting the steel frames of the door of the collection centre. The ingress was noted by an employee later.

The SGPC detained two of its employees, Inderjit Singh and Jasbir Singh, on suspicion. The two were later handed over to the city police for questioning.

Mr Raghbir Singh said the SGPC was looking into the matter and would hold a detailed inquiry.

The Kotwali police has registered a case and begun investigation. However, no one has yet been named in the FIR registered by the police. — UNI

Unfortunately theft at the Harimandir Sahib complex happens everyday.

The best targets are NRI who after a 9+ hours flight go to the Harimandir Sahib carrying their passports and money with them. There have been many cases of such people having their passport and money stolen. The SGPC task force know exactly who the thieves are but are reluctant to take action. It is as if they get a cut from the thieves.

The golak money getting stolen has been happening for years. I think the SGPC got upset as outsiders did the stealing in this case and not one of their own people.
