SGPC vs Punjab Govt Over Missing Guru Granth Sahib Copies

A long time ago, in 2020, 328 copies of the Guru Granth Sahib went missing from a place in Amritsar.

The SGPC, which looks after Sikh temples, took action against its employees based on an investigation.

But the Punjab government registered a police case against some SGPC employees in 2025.

The SGPC president, Harjinder Singh Dhami, says the government is interfering in Sikh matters.

He also accused the government of being silent on a controversial religious leader's release.

The government says they registered the case because many Sikh groups asked them to.

The SGPC says they have already taken action and the government is doing this for political reasons.
