Dhami also raised concern that these emails were being sent using the names of prominent individuals and criticised the government’s failure to identify the culprits. “We have activated our internal cyber teams, but this responsibility lies with the state. The culprits must be exposed without delay,” he said.He further pointed out that despite several complaints to Punjab Police regarding fake and parody social media accounts operating in the SGPC’s name, the Cyber Cell had failed to take substantial action, showing the state’s lack of seriousness toward Sikh institutions.“Whether these threats are simply the mischief of a malicious mind or part of a larger conspiracy must be investigated,” Dhami said, warning that the threats could be an attempt to create fear among the thousands of devotees who visit the shrine daily.He assured that the SGPC was diligently managing the Golden Temple complex and appealed to devotees not to be fearful, adding that large numbers of people continue to arrive daily as usual.In connection with the threats, former Member of Parliament Shwait Malik met Dhami at the SGPC office today. Dhami said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, understanding the sensitivity of the issue, had sent BJP leader and former MP Malik to engage with the SGPC. He expressed gratitude for the gesture but criticised Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and his cabinet ministers for not contacting them so far on the issue.Amritsar Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar confirmed, “Two emails came earlier and now three have come. The content in them is almost similar. Till now, in the investigation, the contents are pointing towards southern states. We hope that soon we will share the breakthrough.”He added, “We are coordinating with the SGPC. As a precautionary measure, the bomb disposal team of the BSF was called in to search and assist us as they were nearby. Our bomb disposal team is coming from Jalandhar, hence we requested the BSF to send theirs. The SGPC has also deputed its own task force.”
