MOGA: Taking advantage of the recent braid-chopping spree, a 15-year-old baptised Sikh boy of Daulatpura village cut his own hair and then spread rumours that it was handiwork of ‘a gang’.

Pardeep Pal wanted to have a haircut, and thought of the recent incidents as a perfect cover to execute his plans.

Under tenets governing the Sikh religion, a baptised Sikh is supposed to maintain Maryada by keeping and maintaining long hair. Pal, initially stuck to his theory, but blurted out the truth after a local Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Boota Singh grilled him.Pal admitted that he had cut his hair himself as he wanted to keep short hair, something his parents had forbidden him to do, as he was from a baptised family.

Police said they were called after the boy reported that his hair were cut while he was sleeping at night. “When we reached the village, it was clear that the boy had concocted a story on his hair being cut. No action was sought,’ a police source said.
