NEW DELHI, India—The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee has demanded a CBI probe into an attack on Sikh detainees, Jathedar Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara and Bhai Daya Singh Lahoria in Tihar Jail.
The Sikh political prisoners were brutally thrashed by jail staffers and others some days ago.
It is reported that the CCTV cameras of that area of the jail were switched off during that exact period of time.
Speaking with Sikh24, DSGMC’s legal advisor, Jaswinder Singh Jolly said that the DSGMC President Manjit Singh has written a letter to the CBI Director in this concern. Labelling the incident as a violation of the jail code, as well as human rights, Jolly said that the minorities were being targeted in the jail deliberately and even records have proven that in Tihar jail, the victims of most incidents were from minorities.
