UT’s special cell to probe Harbhagwan’s claim
Chandigarh, September 5The UT police will hold an inquiry to determine as to who had contacted senior advocate Harbhagwan Singh in the Punjab and Haryana High Court last week during the hearing of a bunch of petitions relating to the voting right of Sehajdhari Sikhs in the SGPC elections.
The UT SSP, Naunihal Singh, said he had formed a special cell to probe the matter after a complaint in his regard.
Senior counsel Harbhagwan Singh had told the Punjab and Haryana High court that the 2003 notification barring the Sehajdharis from voting had been withdrawn by the Centre.
Harbhagwan Singh claims that he was approached by a stranger who said he had a message for him. He says the stranger gave him his cell phone. Identifying himself as an officer in the Union Ministry of Law and Justice, he was instructed by the caller to inform the Full Bench about the decision on the withdrawal of the notification.
