Ghaziabad Man Held Over Golden Temple Sarovar Video to Be Transferred to Punjab Police

Police action followed an SGPC complaint alleging hurt religious sentiments under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

Overview

  • Ghaziabad Police detained Subhan Rangrez, identified from a viral clip recorded at the Golden Temple, with a handover to Punjab authorities underway.
  • Republic World reported that police registered a case and arrested the accused after the SGPC’s filing, while Ghaziabad officials noted detention and transfer procedures.
  • The SGPC said its internal review of CCTV showed the man rinsing his mouth at the sarovar and not paying obeisance, which it cited in seeking an FIR.
  • Investigators are examining the viral video, CCTV footage, and whether others who accompanied him played any role, with the inquiry continuing.
  • The man earlier posted that no one objected to his actions and later issued a public apology citing ignorance of Sikh maryada, as Sikh groups and social media users voiced strong objections.
