A six-member CBI team has visited Burj Jwahar Singh wala and Bargari villages in connection with the investigation of sacrilege incident. SSP Faridkot Sukhminder Singh Mann on Saturday said the CBI team arrived yesterday and will be here for two more days. CBI sleuths recorded the statement of Granthis of Burj Jwahar Singh wala Gurdwara and also of Gurdwara Bargari.

SSP said the police was also coordinating with the CBI team and handed over the relevant documents to them. Punjab government on November 1 had handed over the probe to CBI into the Bargari village sacrilege incident in Faridkot. The three cases were registered at the Bajakhana police station in Faridkot district.

These related to the theft of Guru Granth Sahib at Burj Jawahar Singh Wala village in June, the putting up of posters in Bargari and Burj Jawahar Singh Wala villages in September inciting Sikhs to protest against the theft of the holy book and the sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib with torn pages of the holy book being found at Bargari in October.
