Amritsar, November 13 -SAD President Sukhbir Singh Badal suffered minor hairline fracture when he visited Akal Takht to meet Jathedar Akal Takht Gyani Raghbir Singh here today.

Incident occurred when Sukhbir Badal visited the secretariat   of Akal Takht where accidentally a table hit his right foot resulting in minor hairline fracture. Immediately after the incident, his security staff shifted him to Guru Ramdas Institute of Medical Sciences where minor hairline fracture was detected in the xray and subsequently treatment was administered upon him.

He had gone to Akal Takht secretariat to request Jathedar Akal Takht for early hearing in his case wherein he was earlier declared Tankhiya by the Akal Takht for religious misconduct acts during his tenure as Deputy Chief Minister Punjab.   

It is noteworthy here that Jathedar Akal Takht was not available in the city as he had gone to Jalandhar as per his earlier announced schedule to take part in some religious program. The Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikhs, on August 30 had declared Badal ‘tankhaiya’ for the “mistakes” committed by his party and the SAD government from 2007 to 2017.
