Jagraon, August 29,
As many as six persons including five persons became the victims of ‘Jehar Khurani gang’ during the 68th birth anniversary celebrations of Nanaksar sect founder Baba Nand Singh Ji at Gurudwara Nanaksar Sahib, some 5 kilometers away from here.
The incident came to light when six persons including five women were admitted to the local Civil Hospital when they fell unconscious after consuming some poisonous substance suspected to be served by the members of the gang last night.
The persons who became victims of the gang have been identified as Nasib Kaur and Davinder Kaur, both from New Delhi, Joginder Kaur of Mullanpur Dakha, Gurmail Kaur of Talwandi Bhaike, Jaswant Singh and an unidentified woman.
It is pertinent to mention here that lakhs of devotees from various parts of the country and abroad visitNanaksar every year to attend the birth anniversary celebrations of Baba Nand Singh Ji.
As such kind of incidents have taken place in the past too therefore a large number of police personals, including many in civil cloths, were deployed at Nanaksar this time to keep a tab on such kind of anti -social elements.
But in spite of this all, the gang members succeeded in looting six persons.
When the victims gained consciousness following treatment, it was found that all of them had been looted of gold ornaments and cash.
According to Nasib Kaur, a victim, who had come from New Delhi to take part in the celebrations, she only remembered that she had eaten some fruit ‘chaat’ from outside the gurdwara premises before going to sleep last night.
“I came to know about the incident next morning when I woke up and found myself in the hospital instead of the gurdwara. I was told that I was brought to the hospital in an unconscious state. When I checked, I found my gold bangles and ear-rings missing”, said Nasib Kaur.
In 2008, the ‘Jehar Khurani’ gang had targeted 13 persons and robbed them of gold and cash.
Moreover, two of the victims of the gang had also lost their lives.
In 2009, as many as eight persons were looted by the gang members while in 2010, seven devotees fell victim to the gang.
Meanwhile, the police has registered a case against unidentified persons and started investigation.
When contacted, the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Joginder Singh, who was heading the security arrangements, said, “We had made vast security arrangements this time to prevent any unpleasant incident like this here, but it is unfortunate that it happened.”
He said the police would investigate the matter and try to trace the persons responsible for this incident.
