New Scam Alert in Pune

I don’t have any hate for any religion! Just sharing my experience, hoping more people will become aware about the ongoing scam. I encountered a group of 3-4 Sikhs today at baner-pashan road who are defrauding in the name of some Gurudwara saying there is langar being organised on New Year. These guys will cornered me telling are you a sikh and started telling me about the guru nanak jayanti and langar event which they want to conduct at a gurudwara nearby, then they gave me a picture of guru nanak and said this is for free and you don't have to pay anything for it, then they asked me to write my name on a diary and there was some amount written besides each name. I was alone, and they were multiple, also the place was away from shops and people, therefore I tried to avoid any conflict since they had kripan(knife) so I gave them 501 rupees and escaped the situation. After coming, and I searched this incident and found exact scams going on in delhi or mumbai. I hope this post helps people be careful and avoid these low life scammers destroying the name of Sikhism and Guru Nanak. Report to a nearby Police officer if possible. PS - this post isn't to target sikhism, as a practicing hindu, i have no reason to disrespect them, i just want to warm that is it actually a scam.
