MUKTSAR: The Gidderbaha police have booked Rajinder Singh, a secretary in a co-operative society, for embezzlement of Rs 14.74 lakh.

Gidderbaha co-operative department assistant registrar Rajan Gurbakhsh Rai, who filed a police complaint in this regard, said, “Rajinder, who was posted as secretary of a co-operative society in Gidderbaha, was transferred to Chatteana village last year. He was reluctant to provide the records of the society accounts. During the investigation, we found that he had siphoned off Rs 28.97 lakh. He later deposited ₹14.23 lakh, but was reluctant to give the pending ₹14.74 lakh. Rajinder has already been suspended.”

Gidderbaha police registered a case against Rajinder under Section 409 (criminal breach of trust) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and started investigations. CHANDIGARH: British-sikh reality television star Rav Bansal has been targeted for being a gay.

Bansal, a Sikh who recently came out in public about his sexuality, received a letter accusing him of “lustful behaviour” that is prohibited by Sikhism.

Bansal, who was last seen as a contestant on “Great British Bake Off’ in 2016, took to Twitter to post the letter, written anonymously by someone who claimed to be a member of the Sikh community.

“You opened up about being gay and Sikh, and I couldn’t have been more disappointed,” reads
