London : A British Sikh woman is taking legal action against a gurdwara in Scotland after she suffered severe injuries on her leg in an explosion in its kitchen area in 2011. Kuljit Bahia was helping in the preparations of langar at Sri Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Dundee when a pressure cooker exploded in its kitchen in 2011, severely injuring her and another woman.

Kuljit lost the bottom part of her right leg in the blast and was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee. After the investigation, the local police had said there were no suspicious circumstances behind the blast.

Bahia has now lodged an action at Scotland’s Court of Session, claiming damages from the “Sikh Community of Dundee” as well as three named individuals — Manjit Singh Athwal, Satwant Bhachu and Gurdev Singh –- all members of the gurdwara’s operating committee, Herald Scotland reported.

Refuting the charges, Gurdev said: “I was not even there at the time of the explosion.”
