Gurdaspur, October 7: The local police have booked former SAD minister Sucha Singh Langah, who is facing rape charges, under Section 295-A (deliberate act intended to outrage religious feelings) of the IPC.
The case was registered after a Sikh delegation, led by SGPC member Amrik Singh Shahpur, complained against Langah to SSP HS Bhullar. The delegation referred to the “obscene” video that has gone viral.
The SSP said Shahpur presented a copy of the Rehat Maryada to show that Langah had violated tenets of Sikhism.
An officer said the SSP had directed officials to file the FIR under Section 295-A after DSP (special branch) Gurbans Singh Bains submitted a report.
Langah is in police custody till October 9.
