An attempted theft was recently reported at a gurdwara in Basti Chugga, located in the Dharamkot township. A young man allegedly broke a windowpane to gain entry into a room inside the premises.
The accused has been identified as Harpinder Singh, a resident of Jalalabad.
The entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras.
The footage showed the suspect first attempting to break open the golak (donation box) to steal cash. After failing to do so, he proceeded to dismantle and remove a fan mounted on the wall.
While some social media posts began linking the incident to an act of sacrilege, the police have strongly dismissed these rumours, clarifying that it was purely a case of attempted theft.
