sacrilege

The man who was killed in Nizampur, Kapurthala Gurudwara was reportedly hungry and looking for food. He was spotted taking some Rotis in the kitchen, say reports.

It is noteworthy that Sidhu has made such demand at a time when all leaders, irrespective of the party lines, have shied away from condemning the lynching of the man accused of sacrilege at Golden Temple as well as in Kapurthala Gurudwara.

Punjab police had at first confirmed that a case had also been registered against the accused in Kapurthala lynching case, but later backtracked during the press conference after they received repeated phone calls.

Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, who also holds the state’s home ministry portfolio, said on December 19 that the identity of the deceased person was yet to be revealed as he was not carrying any identification documents.

Several theories have been floating around as possible reasons of increase in lynching cases linked to sacrilege in Punjab
