Golden Temple threat email: Suspect detained from Faridabad
Enhanced deployments, in coordination with the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), have been made both within and around the complex, with DCP-level officers monitoring the situation on the ground.
Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar, in a press briefing, confirmed that cyber investigations are underway in collaboration with state cyber crime units and central agencies. The probe has also extended to multiple states, including Tamil Nadu, where similar emails were reportedly received. Authorities are currently exploring potential connections with fringe political elements from the region.
As part of the investigation, a man identified as Subham Dubey was detained from Faridabad. Police say he is a B.Tech graduate who has worked with various firms. His electronic devices, including a laptop and phone, have been seized for forensic examination. However, officials clarified that he has not been formally charged and is being questioned based on technical leads.
Commissioner Bhullar further stated that VPNs and advanced technology were used to mask the origin of the emails, indicating a deliberate attempt to mislead investigators. Despite the challenges, police remain confident about a breakthrough soon.
The police reassured devotees that there is no cause for panic and that all security protocols are being implemented respectfully, in line with religious decorum. Authorities have contacted cybersecurity experts and international service providers to trace digital footprints.
While the investigation is still ongoing, officials stressed that significant progress has been made. 'With Guru Maharaj's blessings, all devotees are safe. We are hopeful of achieving a full breakthrough very soon,' said Bhullar.

Migrant worker's son and wife beaten by Delhi police; Mamata Banerjee posts video
Kolkata July 27 (UNI): A migrant worker's wife and young son, who had travelled from West Bengal to Delhi in search of work, were allegedly assaulted by the police. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee protested against the incident by posting a video on social media. Launching an attack against the BJP-led Central Government and the ruling party in Delhi, she wrote, "Even a child is not spared from linguistic terrorism." In the video shared by the Chief Minister, a young man is seen showing injury marks on his young son's body, saying, "Look what they have done to my son. The police beat him and injured his forehead." He is also heard alleging in the video that all their essential belongings were thrown away. The man's wife also appears in the video. Pointing to her, the man says, "She too was beaten badly." However, the video has not been independently verified by UNIthand itr also does not have . Posting the video, the chief minister wrote, 'See how even a child is not spared from the cruelty of violence in the regime of linguistic terror unleashed by BJP in the country against the Bengalis! Where are they taking our country now?' The Trinamool Congress has stepped up its protest following reports of harassment faced by migrant workers from Bengal working in other states. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has also warned of a larger movement if harassment of migrant workers is not stopped. The allegation is that Bengali-speaking workers, suspected of being Bangladeshis, are being detained in BJP-ruled states like Odisha, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh—even after showing documents like Aadhaar and voter ID cards. In such cases, only a 'Police Clearance Certificate' (PCC) seems to secure their release; otherwise, they are being detained. The harassment of Bengali migrant workers in Delhi and Odisha has already reached the Calcutta High Court. Against this backdrop, the ruling party in West Bengal, Trinamool, has launched a 'language movement' against the BJP starting Sunday. Tomorow Mamata Banerjee is set to participate in the Nanur Dibas program in Birbhum and will also take part in a march. She is supposed to leave for Birbhum by road on Sunday evening. UNI XC SSP
