In a disturbing incident on Monday night, a Nihang Sikh named Ramandeep Singh allegedly killed a young man at a gurdwara in Punjab’s Kapurthala district, citing suspicions of sacrilege. The accused later posted a video on social media, claiming responsibility for the killing and asserting that the victim had confessed to being sent to commit sacrilege.
Nihang Sikh Allegedly Murders Young Man Over Sacrilege Claims at Kapurthala Gurdwara
The incident unfolded at the Chaura Khooh gurdwara in Phagwara town, where Ramandeep Singh has reportedly barricaded himself inside. Senior police officer Gurpreet Singh stated, “A Nihang Sikh killed a youth at Gurudwara Shri Choura Khooh Sahib over suspicions of sacrilege. Investigation is underway.”
This marks the second episode of violence involving Nihang Sikhs in Kapurthala within the past three months. In November, a policeman lost his life when a group of Nihangs opened fire on police officers attempting to clear encroachments inside a gurdwara that was at the center of a dispute between two factions. Five individuals were arrested in connection with that incident.
The current situation has prompted a swift response from law enforcement, with police officials present at the gurdwara as they investigate the circumstances surrounding the alleged sacrilege and subsequent killing. The incident underscores the need for addressing tensions and disputes within religious communities to prevent further instances of violence.
