Amritsar, January 21

Seven daggers of the 18th century Sikh warriors that were stolen from Maharaja Ranjit Singh Panorama on January 11 at the historic Ram Bagh garden in Amritsar were recovered on Tuesday evening.

These daggers were found in Gurdwara Ramsar near the Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Deep Singh shrine. Eyewitness said an unidentified woman left the daggers covered in a Rumala Sahib.

Gurdwara priests spotted the daggers after evening prayers on Tuesday and informed the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). The daggers were handed over to the police. The relics were stolen from a room on the first floor of the panorama. The room was usually locked and only opened for VIPs. Of the nine daggers kept in a glass enclosure, seven were found missing.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Bikram Pal Singh Bhatti said the unidentified woman also left a note along with the daggers which states no insider was involved in the theft. It also states that such artefacts should be displayed in the general gallery instead of the VIP gallery. The woman could not be identified in the absence of CCTV cameras, said Bhatti.

He said efforts were on to identify the woman. We are also waiting for the fingerprint report which would provide a clue about the thieves, he said. The police still suspect the role of an insider in the theft.

The written note mentioned the words VIP gallery and general gallery, which only an insider can know, said a police officer.

Raman Kumar, curator of Mahraja Ranjit Singh Museum, said the authenticity of the daggers would be checked. He said the daggers had ivory handles.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
