Amritsar: Pakistan police have registered a case after a complaint was lodged against the disappearance of Guru Nanak Dev's 'Chakki' from Gurdwara Chakki Sahib, Eminabad, in Pakistan. The country's first Sikh police officer, Gulab Singh had lodged the complaint at Eminabad police station, demanding an investigation into the matter. He told the media that in his complaint, he has mentioned that he was informed by the Sikh community in Britain that the 'chakki' was in the possession of a UK-based Sikh, and “many Sikhs in UK have paid obeisance to the relic.” He has alleged that it was taken out from the Gurdwara with help from some employees.
The first Sikh master, Guru Nanak Dev, used to grind corn with the 'chakki' when he was taken prisoner. Later, Gurdwara Chakki Sahib came up at that place. Gulab said that he had sought the registration of a theft case against the person who had taken away the Guru's 'chakki'. The relic's disappearance had led to outrage among Sikhs the world over. Chater Singh, member of Bibi Nanki Trust, Pakistan, had announced the launch of a movement for tracing the 'chakki' and re-installing it at the Gurdwara after performing sacred rituals.
Former president of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee Paramjit Singh Sarna had also confirmed that the millstone was not in Gurdwara Chakki Sahib and had been taken away by a UK-based Sikh. Akal Takht jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh had also directed Sikhs to trace it and re-install it at Gurdwara in Eminabad in accordance with rehat maryada.
