The granthi, who managed to run away after his transgression was noticed, had allegedly been doing this for quite some time. According to sarpanch Amrik Singh of Jhar Sahab, near Ludhiana, the incident came to light in the morning when a faithful praying at the Jhar Sahab gurdwara, managed by SGPC, found granthi Gurpreet Singh ‘‘wasn’t concentrating in the prayers and was rather distracted by something else underneath the table on which the scriptures were placed’’.

‘‘I was shocked to see that the granthi was actually busy seeing pornographic clips on his cellphone that he had cleverly hidden under the table,’’ said Jasbir Singh Gill, one of those praying at the gurdwara. ‘‘I immediately called the head granthi, Jaspal Singh, and we caught the man red-handed.’’

‘‘We have registered an FIR under IPC section 295 (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) against the accused after checking the porn movie clips in his mobile,’’ said Rajesh Kumar, SHO, under whose jurisdiction Jhar Sahab falls. This is the second time in recent days something like this involving a granthi has happened.

Its embarrasing for all of us. How come he is so desperate that he was watching this while reciting keertan....in presence of Guru and Sangat.....

He was doing PAATH RAOL... meaning doing the paath of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji for somone else who paid for it.
Serves the "BUYER" right too...a SIKH is supposed to do the paath HIMSELF..not BUY a ready made one...you "buy" you get ones like this one..porn+paath ??

Gurbani parrots with lecherous minds for hire........

I want to go over there and shake him silly -- really this is so bad. It is painful.

just to play the devil's advocte:

how many of us have not had our minds wander off while in gurudwara?

Just recall if you were not:

1. thinking of the mortgage that has high rate

2. The new car you saw in the gurudwara parking lot
3. irritated by the pitch of gyani's voice
4. conscious of someone not following the "maryada" of being in gurudwara
5. making note of the suit the other lady was wearing
6. Thinking about langar

Do you consider your examples are proportionally equivalent to a granthi watching porn on a concealed mobile device while reciting Shabad Guru?
