A prominent civil rights organization has sought a formal probe into the conduct of police personnel during operations at Bangla Sahib Gurdwara in Delhi, alleging improper treatment of Sikh devotees gathered at the historic shrine during protest-related activities.
The National Alliance for People's Action (NAPA) has submitted a formal request for investigation, citing concerns over the manner in which law enforcement officials engaged with worshippers at the gurdwara. The group contends that police action at the religious site during the demonstrations warranted closer scrutiny and accountability.
Bangla Sahib, one of Delhi's most significant Sikh pilgrimage centers, witnessed the incident as various protest movements unfolded across the national capital. The involvement of security forces at a place of worship has drawn attention from civil society organizations monitoring police-community relations.
NAPA's call for inquiry reflects broader concerns regarding the appropriate exercise of police authority in sensitive religious spaces, particularly during periods of civic unrest. The organization has urged relevant authorities to review the incident and establish clear findings on the nature and justification of police actions undertaken at the gurdwara.
