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.

Yes it’s a scam similar to orphanage donation scheme by khakhi dress impersonating as policemen and asking for donations for orphan kids foods.

Langars in Gurudwaras have been getting enough donation at the location, they don’t need to go outside looking for donation.

In worst case, if you had to donate make sure you donate only 100 ₹ and not more then that.

Thanks for spreading awareness about it.

This is a pretty common scam in Bangalore. Sikhs do not ask for Donations as it goes against their religious beliefs.
