4 sacrilege FIRs so far under Satkar Act, will continue to probe as ‘law still stands’, says Punjab ADGP | Chandigarh News

The Punjab Police are investigating four cases of sacrilege registered under the Jaagat Jot Sri Guru Granth Sahib (Amendment) Act, 2026. While the Akal Takht, objecting to certain provisions and terminology, has requested a halt to the law's implementation, police officers maintain that investigations will continue. The investigation into these cases is ongoing, with arrests made in one case and no accused nominated in three others. The Punjab Bureau of Investigation (PBI) is leading the investigations, while the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections 298 and 299 are being invoked as per the nature and gravity of the sacrilege offenses.
