[kurtas]

Its all coming out now. Not long ago I posted a thread about these kar sewa wale and their secret hidden agenda. Looks like Amrik has been exposed and his links with Indian Intelligence are coming into the public domain. This lafanga has destroyed a lot of Sikh heritage. He should be caught and publicly thrashed.

Be careful who you give money to.

Baba of kar seva flees after embezzling donations worth crores

Tarn Taran, July 8

In a shocking but unprecedented case in the history of ‘kar seva’, Amrik Singh of Dera Baba Jagtar Singh today went underground after allegedly embezzling donations worth crores, here today.

The alleged culprit, Amrik Singh who had supervised the kar seva of the Holy Tank of Golden Temple, gold plating of Darbar Sahib, Tarn Taran, and Sikh shrines in Pakistan and had collected huge donations, was kept under captivity for many days in the Dera. However, he fled on the pretext of purchasing medicines from Amritsar.

Baba Jagtar Singh, chief of the Dera, said the general power of attorney given to Amrik Singh had been cancelled. The Dera chief has also given public notices, warning the Sikh Sangat against the activities of Amrik Singh.

The district police chief, Mr Parveen Sinha, said a case under various sections including 420 of the Indian Penal Code was being registered against Amrik Singh on the complaint of Baba Jagtar Singh. Mr Sinha said some relatives of Amrik Singh were also involved in the embezzlement of kar seva funds and a case might be registered against them after the probe.

Amrik Singh had succeeded in securing multiple visa for Pakistan to carry out ‘kar seva’ of Sikh shrines in Pakistan. He had supervised the construction of ‘Golden Palanquin’ taken to Pakistan by Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee. Mr Manmohan Singh Khalsa, a senior leader of the Dal Khalsa while talking to The Tribune from UK alleged that the visa of Amrik Singh was not extended by Pakistan as he was suspected to be an agent of Indian Intelligence agencies. He alleged that telephone numbers of senior police officers of India were found in the personal diary of Amrik Singh. Mr Khalsa alleged that Amrik Singh had purchased luxury vehicles in Pakistan.

Addressing a Press conference, here today, Baba Jagtar Singh said Amrik Singh had purchased about seven acres land in Hoshiarpur district in his own name recently. A scorpio vehicle was purchased in the name of his relative. Baba Jagtar Singh alleged that Amrik Singh had embezzled funds worth crores by purchasing ‘Benami’ land.

Though Amrik Singh was held responsible for the disappearance of one gold and three spades during the kar seva of the Sarover of Golden Temple, a couple of years ago, no action was taken against him. He had also developed deep roots among senior officials of the SGPC and the state government. He had recently met Capt Amarinder Singh, Chief Minister.

Amrik Singh, who is only 38, had joined the Dera of Baba Jagtar Singh at the age of 17. He had won the confidence of senior Sikh Sants and was brought to Tarn Taran, the headquarter of kar seva. Since he was found ‘worldly smart’, he was given general power of attorney in July, 1998. He had visited many developed countries, including USA, with a view to collecting donations. However, recently, he developed sharp differences with Baba Jagtar Singh when his activities were found suspicious. He was under observation for the last about six months and all his activities were being monitored closely.

Now days people shouldnt be treated as if they wont do this stuff.

If they did this now means they did this then. Its not surprizing to hear about this corruption.

We need to make an AMW " Amritsars most wanted" satellite tv show so we can show there faces all over the world for these money and other scams.

I think alot of Gurdwara commitees do the same as this but get away with it.

At one Gurdwara a Ill say an <banned word filter activated> got caught stealing $80000 from funds as a comitee member and when caught he said "there has been worse". And what really sux is they just removed him as a comitee member with no arrest or anything. { W T F } He bought a Subway store and now makes tons of money from this stolen money from the Gurdwara.

You can tell when the commitee is corrupt because they look at you evil as if they are looking at you from under a mask. {really erie people with sneaky ways of conduct}

There are many other scams that Amrik thug was involved in. Kar Sewa wale get cement at special reduced rates. If you are buying large quantities then there is scope to make lots of money by buying at the reduced rate and selling the cement on at slightly below the retail price. This dirty Amrik was involved in such a scam. The media knew about this but it was hushed up through his contacts.
