NEW DELHI: Demanding the immediate arrest of Dera Sacha Sauda Chief Gurmit Ram Rahim Singh, Sikh protesters blocked seven trains in Punjab on Wednesday.
The Amritsar Shatabdi and the Sachkhand Express was stopped at the Amritsar Railway Station. According to reports, around 150 protesters have blocked the Amritsar-Jalandhar rail line near Walla village.
Sikhs also held demonstrations in Haryana demanding action against the Dera chief.
The killing of a Sikh allegedly by the Dera chief's security guard in Mulund sparked major protests by the community in Mumbai. The protests have since spilled over to Punjab, Haryana and Jammu.
Though the situation has largely been peaceful, Sikhs have staged large-scale demonstrations in several parts of the country since then.
Protesters have repeatedly warned that things will get out of control if no action is taken against the Dera chief.
