Tensions escalated in the Delhi Legislative Assembly as members tore into Punjab Police’s FSL report concerning the contentious Sikh Guru case. An official notice was promptly issued, signaling deep mistrust in the forensic evidence presented.
Background to the case involves age-old religious assertions validated—or contested—through modern science. Punjab’s report claimed conclusive results, but Delhi’s scrutiny revealed glaring gaps: from sample contamination fears to procedural lapses.
During a marathon session, MLAs dissected the report clause by clause. One lawmaker quipped, ‘Forensic science demands precision, not presumption.’ The notice mandates comprehensive disclosures, threatening further assembly summons if ignored.
This development revives memories of past inter-state clashes over Sikh heritage issues. Sikh bodies have rallied behind the assembly, organizing prayer meets for a fair resolution. Punjab defends its stance, promising a detailed rebuttal.
Experts weigh in, noting that re-testing with international labs could settle doubts. Politically, it’s a tightrope walk for both governments amid community sensitivities.
With the notice’s clock ticking, the Sikh Guru case stands at a crossroads. Delhi’s intervention might just unlock long-buried truths, or deepen divides—only time will tell.
