A Nurmahal-based man has been booked for desecrating the ‘Gutka Sahib’ during an ongoing domestic feud with his mother.
Identified as Amarpreet Singh, a resident of Sidhwan Hari Singh village in Nurmahal, the man’s video has gone viral on the social media in which he can be seen trampling upon the Gutka Sahib in an act of vengeance against his mother, as she had been reading it.
He proceeds to set fire to her personal belongings in the open.
