There was a ruckus on Friday morning after a dead body was found on the Singhu border where farmers are protesting. The brutality with which the man was killed near the farmers’ protest site gave everyone goosebumps. Now the Samyukt Kisan Morcha has claimed that Nihang Sikhs are behind this murder. He cut off the hand of that person and took his life. At present, the police has registered an FIR against unknown people. The person killed has been identified.
“The Nihangs said that the incident took place because Lakhbir attempted to commit sacrilege to the ‘Sarbaloh Granth’. It is been reported that this deceased had been staying with the same group of Nihangs for some time,” the statement read.
On the other hand, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha has distanced itself from the Nihang Sikhs and said that it will fully cooperate with the police in the investigation. Apart from this, an emergency meeting has also been called in the morning, in which this incident will be discussed. Seven members of the Coordination Committee of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha will attend the meeting.
“SKM is against sacrilege of any religious text or symbol, but that does not give anyone the right to take the law in their hands. We demand that the culprits be punished according to law,” SKM said.
Nihang Sikhs have been accused of killing a person on the Singhu border. The Samyukt Kisan Morcha has also leveled allegations against him. The statement of Balbir Singh Rajewal, leader of Kisan Morcha has also come on this.
