On October 15th, Lakhbir Singh, a Dalit Sikh, was found hanging on a police barricade with his left hand and foot cut off. The police immediately brought him to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. According to a local news outlet, the incident happened during the ongoing farmers' protests in India. Several Nihang Sikhs, a martial sect with Sikhism, claimed that the victim committed sacrilege. The exact action taken by the victim is still unknown; some witnesses claim that he had torn a page from the Sarbloh Granth, a Sikh religious book, some said he threw the book in a trash can, others claimed he attempted to run away with it, or even burn it. The 35-year old victim is a father of 3 and farm laborer from a village in the Punjab province. His family stated Lakhbir was a devotee of Guru Gobind Singh, and he could never do something so sinful. Several arrests have been made regarding this crime.
