BREAKING NEWS – BHAI GURBAKSH SINGH FORCEFULLY TAKEN

We have a first-hand report that around midnight (India time) approximately 60 plain clothes policemen, wearing kesri dastaar’s and one of them even carrying a nishan sahib, entered Bhai Gurbaksh Singh’s tent outside Amb Sahib Gurdwara, where he was resting for the night. They were heavily intoxicated with alcohol and had even been to the Gurdwara building itself beforehand.

There were about 7 Singh standing guard at the ...tent and one of the Singhs present identified one of the police officers as the DCP of Chandigarh. Our SOPW volunteer was also at Bhai Gurbaksh Singh’s bedside as Bhai Sahib had requested this, and he tells us that the Police first arrested the Singh that ID’d them and then forcefully removed Bhai Gurbaksh Singh – 2 police officers grabbed his feet and 2 grabbed his arms. Witnesses say he was thrown into a waiting ambulance ‘like a sack of potatoes’ and that there were another 300+ officers outside. All the Singh that were present put up a fierce struggle but were inevitably outnumbered.

We can confirm that Bhai Sahib has been taken to Phase 6 Civil Hospital in Chandigarh and that as soon as Bhai Sahib was so disgracefully removed, Bibi Manjit Kaur (from Bhai Fauja Singh Trust) took his place and has resumed the hungerstrike herself.
