Some Dera Sacha Sauda followers had allegedly planned to 'eliminate' Sikh preacher Baljit Singh Daduwal, according to a report prepared by Punjab police's Special Investigation Team, probing sacrilege incidents.

The contents of the SIT report were today shared with media by AAP MLAs Sukhpal Singh Khaira and Kanwar Sandhu here.

SIT chairman Ranbir Singh Khatra, who is also the DIG of Ludhiana Range, submitted his report in the month of June to the Justice (retd) Ranjit Singh Commission which was constituted to investigate various incidents of sacrilege of the Guru Granth Sahib and other religious texts.

In the report, the SIT mentioned that sacrilege incidents which took place in Faridkot district in 2015 were the "result of a conspiracy hatched by some Dera Sacha Sauda followers."
