Nihang Sikh Kills Youth, Shares Video On Social Media

A Nihang Sikh reportedly killed a person at a Gurdwara in Punjab's Phagwara on suspicion of committing sacrilege, Hindustan Times reported.

The incident occurred on Monday evening. The accused uploaded the video and took responsibility for the murder. He locked himself inside the Chaura Khooh Gurdwara premises.

Upon hearing the news, the cops arrived on the spot. As per a report in The Tribune, the victim is a migrant who had stayed at the gurdwara and allegedly desecrated it. The accused reportedly captured it on video and allegedly killed the man.

In a similar incident, a man was murdered by three men, including two Nihang Sikhs in Amritsar in 2022. The incident was caught on camera.

In the viral video, three men got into an argument with the victim before they hacked him to death. The shameful part of the incident is that onlookers, who could have possibly ended the tiff or saved a precious life, remained mute spectators.

Reports say that the issue started between the Nihang Sikhs and the deceased, identified as Harmanjeet Singh, over chewing tobacco. "They had taken offence to his chewing tobacco and being drunk while roaming in that area," NDTV quoted Police Commissioner Arun Pal Singh as saying.
