'No visible sign of sacrilege', says police after man beaten to death in Punjab's Kapurthala gurudwara

"Everything was found intact including the holy Guru Granth Sahib," Inspector General of Police Gurinder Singh Dhillon stated.

Kapurthala: A day after a man was killed for an alleged sacrilege bid at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, another unidentified person was beaten to death by a mob after being accused of "disrespecting" the Sikh religious flag at a gurdwara in Nizampur village here on Sunday morning.

Villagers and members of Sikh organisations clashed with police personnel, who tried to save the man, leaving three cops, including a station house officer, injured.

Police said there was "no visible sign" of sacrilege incident having taken place at the gurdwara, which is located on the Kapurthala-Subhnapur road here.
