Man killed brutally at farmers' protest site

The victim, Lakhbir Singh, hailing from Cheema Khurd village in Punjab’s Tarn Taran district, was working for the Nihangs (a Sikh warrior group), police said. A Nihang, Sarabjit Singh of Vithwa village in Gurdaspur district of Punjab, later surrendered taking responsibility for the killing and was arrested by the Haryana Police.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) was quick to condemn from it. The Nihangs had claimed responsibility for the killing claiming the man tried to desecrate Guru Granth Sahib, it said and asserted that neither the deceased nor the Nihangs had any links with the SKM.
