		Sandher was so upset with Malhi's refusal that he left the congregation after the langar and returned a few hours later with a rifle and began shooting the worshippers, killing Malhi and wounding another.

		This gurdwara also serves as an example of harmony, selflessness and team-work, where the students volunteer to do seva, which they take from the senior students and in turn pass, what they have learnt, to the newcomers.
