The matter first came to the knowledge of the members of a student union, Sikh Student Federation (Mehta), who themselves investigated the matter and later reported it to the police.
Sikh Students Federation (Mehta) president Jaspal Singh said their union was informed that the two children of Gurdit Singh, who performs duties as “granthi” in a local gurdwara, were bringing food to the school, wrapped in torn pages of the holy scriptures.
“Later, we found the torn pages scattered near the school. When we visited the priest’s residence in Bagh Wali Basti on Alike Road, several more such pages were found in the kitchen, apparently meant to wrap food items on daily basis,” said Mr Singh.
