Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, December 20, 2021: Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi has slammed killings in the sacrilege incidents in Punjab and demanded strict action.
Taking to Twitter, Singhvi said that "Sacrilege is horrendous but lynching in a civilized country is no less horrendous. I request the authorities to take strict action against all who took the law into their hand & make an example out of them."
A man was beaten to death in an altercation by angry devotees after he allegedly attempted to commit sacrilege at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, police said on Saturday.
A similar incident took place in Kapurthala where a man accused of sacrilege was beaten to death by the angry mob.
The police however later clarified that preliminary investigation suggests that appears to be the case of theft.
