Gurdwara caretaker arrested in Kapurthala lynching case after Punjab CM Channi says no sacrilege took place

A gurdwara caretaker was arrested in the Kapurthala lynching case on Friday. This comes after Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi refuted claims of a sacrilege bid at the Kapurthala gurdwara.

A gurdwara caretaker was arrested on Friday for his alleged involvement in the killing of a man that took place in Kapurthala, Punjab, last week. The accused, Amarjeet Singh, was arrested on charges of murder and attempt to murder, besides other offences.

On December 19, a man was beaten to death in Nizampur village in Kapurthala after he allegedly tried to remove Nishan Sahib, a religious flag of the Sikhs, from atop a gurdwara.
