On December 18th, a man aged between 20 and 25, attempted to steal a ceremonial sword during prayers inside the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India. The sword was kept next to the Guru Granth Sahib, Sikhism’s holy book. According to witnesses, he attempted to strike the holy book with the sword, which is considered a sacrilege. He was stopped by security and was being taken to the office, but the devotees overtook control from the officers and beat him to death. His body was left outside the gates. The identity of the murder victim remains unknown. Such attempts of sacrilege happen often at that temple and get swept under the rug without capturing the perpetrators. Just three days prior to this incident, a man was handed over to the police for allegedly tossing a holy book into the pond which surrounds the temple. Punjab MP Sukhbir Badal said, "Since no culprit was caught in the last five years, they were emboldened."
