London: In a “hate incident”, the West Yorkshire Police has recorded an attack at Guru Gobind Singh Gurdwara in Bradford where a Sikh holy book was “maliciously” thrown over the locked gates.
“Clearly this is an extremely distressing incident for the whole congregation and the wider Sikh community,” said police constable Mercer.

“I would appeal to anyone in and around the area who may have seen or heard anyone acting suspiciously around the entrance to come forward with any information,” Mercer said.
A white rental van was seen in the area and it is believed the suspects may have used this to try and conceal their identity.
Sikh Council UK has urged “calm and solidarity” after it dubbed the incident as “beadabi (insult) of Guru Granth Sahib Ji”.
