History
The gurdwara was founded in pre-partition India and was named after Shiri Guru Sikh Sabah.[4] It holds significance for Sikhs as during the partition of India, in 1947, around 250 Sikhs were murdered at this place.[4]
In 1958, a government college, named Government Ziauddin Memorial College Nabi Bagh, was started as a private school on the premises of gurdwara.[5][3][4] It was nationalized in 1972.[4]
