Police are appealing for information after a religious leader was attacked and left unconscious in the street in Manchester city centre last month. The 62-year-old, who police say was a 'Sikh priest', still remains in a critical condition after the brutal assault on June 23.

Detectives investigating the incident have now released further CCTV images of a man and woman they wish to speak to in relation to the incident. Police had been initially been called to the scene, at 6.30pm, after the man was found unconscious on Tib Street.

Paramedics attended and the man was left in a critical condition fighting for his life in hospital. Enquiries found that the victim had been assaulted on Tib Street. Detectives believe the attacker - a male - fled the scene towards Hilton Street, before turning left onto Oldham Street.

More than a month on from the attack, police are still investigating and are now urging anyone with any information about the two people pictured to contact them immediately. The force has been 'following up a number of lines of enquiry' including reviewing CCTV footage covering the area.

DI Mark Astbury, from Longsight CID, said: “This was an attack on a male who still remains in hospital in critical condition. His family are understandably devastated by the aftermath of the attack and yearning for answers surrounding this.

 

“With his family’s permission, we can now share that the victim is a Sikh priest and we are keeping an open mind in relation to the motivation for this attack. We’ve been following up a number of lines of enquiry since the incident including meticulous CCTV checks and are renewing our appeal for the public’s help.”

Sadly how the media only care to put '3 lines' in this articles. No attempt to know the profile of the victim, interview with family members, family story, reaction of other sikh members (friends/relatives/community members) and then adding bit about sikhs contribution to the society in general.. Had this been a rabbi, you would be seeing folks taking up to all kind of diplomatic talks.

Mestizo and mullato come from indian casteism after it entered portugal and spain. It's non Gurmat and also debunkt. 

The native americans have you down here bro? That's weird in 40 years they never bothered me. 

But you visited here so clearly you're opinion is valid. Right.

So a South American mestizo attacks a Sikh priest. 

I've visited Los Angeles and New York and saw how racist and rude the Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans were. 

@californiasardar1 @Not2Cool2Argue@NaamTiharoJoJape is this true?

did @Ranjeet01 and @dallysingh101 find the same experience in LA ?

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
