Sagar, MP, Aug 26 (UNI) Days after forcible cutting of hair of Sikh youths in Jaipur and Jamshedpur, a Sikh 'sevadar' was today beaten up and his beard plucked by a drunk man near Apsara cinema hall in this district, police said today.

Punjab's Ludhiyana-resident Dharam Singh, who is a sevadar at a Gurudwara here, was beaten by Rajkumar Jadia, who also plucked his beard.

A case was registered but the accused was absconding.
