Moga Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Charanjit Sharma was suspended by Sukhbir Singh Badal, Punjab's Deputy Chief Minister for alleged "lapses in duty."

Stolen Guru Granth Sahib torn in Bargadi, Faridkot

Tensions erupted on 12 October after torn-pages from the holy book were found in village Bargadi. It was later declared by Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee president Avtar Singh Makkar that the pages were from the Guru-Granth Sahib stolen in June from Burj Jawahar Gurdwara, adjacent to Bargadi. An anonymous handwritten note with Dera Sacha Sauda invocation "Dhan Dhan Satguru" were found after the stealing.

Sant Ram Raheem denies Dera links to desecration

Denying that the note had anything to do with his Dera, Sant Ram Raheem tweeted a swift denial on Twitter with the hashtag #MSGRespectAllReligion, saying he "condemned the desecration, and that those who did it were sinners (paapi)".

Tensions
Backdrop to the Faridkot violence

The tension in Faridkot was also fuelled following the controversial pardon of Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh by the Akal Takht on 24 September 2015. The pardon by head priests of the five takhts (who are regarded as Shiromani Akali Dal's proxies) were criticised by several Sikh groups. This move was seen as a pre-election-move to keep Dera on SAD's side.

2 killed, 80 injured in Sikh clashes in Faridkot

Police firing killed 2 people as protests over the alleged desecration of a Guru Granth Sahib gripped Fardikot. Another 80 people were injured due to "teargas, lathicharge and fired in the air" to end dharna by Sikhs in Faridkot. Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal asked for a judicial inquiry into the matter and the violence that ensued because of it.

Personal
Rs.1 crore for information on desecration of holy book

Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal declared a reward of Rs.1 crore for anybody who furnishes information "leading to the arrest of those who desecrated the text."

Dera Sacha Sauda chief's pardon revoked

The Akal Takht annulled its decree pardoning Gurmeet Singh, Dera Sacha Sauda chief in a 2007 blasphemy case due to the Sikh pressure. Various Sikh leaders welcomed the revoking by Akal Takht claiming that this undoing was very important. This annulment came largely due to the rising tensions in Punjab and the flak which the government was receiving from the opposition.
