YUBA CITY, Calif. -- Sikh organizations across the country have rallied to support a Yuba City truck driver who says he suffered extensive injuries at the hands of Oregon State Police after being pulled over for no apparent cause.

Speaking through his daughter, Manjot Gill, Gurpal Singh Gill told India-West he had been driving a load of produce from Stockton, Calif., to Tacoma, Wash., on Sept. 1 when, while on the I-5 near Roseburg, Ore., he saw an Oregon State Police trooper motioning to him to pull over.
