Karnal, July 7: The hair of a Sikh youth was forcibly cut off with a sharp-edged weapon over a dispute in Karnal, Sahara Samay sources said. The incident took place last night.

According the sources, the youth, Parvinder Singh, had a dispute with some other youths who resided in his neighbourhood. In a bid to settle scores, the youths allegedly took Parvinder to their home where they attacked him with a 'katari' several times following which they cut off his hair.

They also allegedly manhandled the youth.

To add to his woes, the police also tried to hush up the case when the victim went to the local police station to report the case. They also initially refused to register an FIR.

The youth later approached the media who intervened in the matter. Police has said that the incident was a simple case of manhandling and ruled out that his hair was forcibly cut off. For Sikhs, their hair is a symbol of their faith.

In accordance with the Sikh philosophy human body is sacred because in it dwells the Spirit of God and what makes it the living image of God is the Mind and Spirit of Man. A complete human being must preserve all the hair on his body as essential and inseperable part of the body. The complete Man who is physically and spiritually the image of God is conceived in Sikh Scriptures as a man with hair and turban on his head.

Sikhs have been outraged by this incident which they termed as an insult to the youth's faith.

The youth said that police advised him against registering a case saying that this would bring unnecessary shame to him. They told him not to highlight the issue that his hair was chopped off.

Speaking to the media, police said that it was a simple case of manhandling.

why isnt anything done about this?

    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
    • Whatever problems the Afghan Sikhs have or Punjabi Sikhs have, it's much better to support them than the Muslims.
    • So, are you saying Guru ji isn't God? Or are you saying the British encouraged this belief?
