Punjab Kapurthala lynching: The man, who is yet to be identified, had deep cuts on his neck, head, chest and hip, the autopsy report said
A man who was beaten to death for an alleged sacrilege attempt in a gurdwara in Punjab's Kapurthala on Sunday had over 30 injury marks on his body, likely inflicted by swords, according to the autopsy report.
The man, who is yet to be identified, had deep cuts on his neck, head, chest and hip, the autopsy report reviewed by senior medical officer Narinder Singh said, news agency PTI reported. The deep cut on the neck is believed to have led the man to become breathless, the report said.
Mr Singh said a five-member group of doctors from the local civil hospital conducted the autopsy. They have taken the man's viscera for chemical test to find out if he was intoxicated. His hair, teeth and blood samples have been taken for a DNA test.
The man was cremated after no one turned up to take the body. No murder case has been filed yet.
