Ferozepur : Hardline Sikh preacher Baljeet Singh Daduwal, who along with his 11 followers was arrested by the Mansa police yesterday after a clash with policemen at Bhikhi town, was today shifted to the Ferozepur Central Jail under heavy security arrangements. A case under Sections 107 and 151 of the CrPC against Daduwal was registered at the Jaurkian police station of Mansa district. Later, he was arrested formally along with a section of his followers who indulged in violent activities. Sources said Daduwal and his 11 followers had been kept in separate barracks under special security arrangements. “Except the jail staff, no one is allowed to enter their barrack. An officer of the rank of assistant superintendent and subordinate staff and jail guards have been deployed,” said jail superintendent (Ferozepur) LS Jakhar. “The jail authorities have allowed them to go to temple or gurdwara but under special security arrangements. Their kin will be allowed to meet them only from 12 noon to 2 pm daily,” he said. When asked why restrictions had been imposed on these 12 inmates, Jakhar said as there were nearly 1,800 inmates in the jail, the authorities were bound to keep a check on all inmates so that they could not commit any mischief.
