On 15 October, the body of Lakhbir Singh, 35, a native of Punjab’s Tarn Taran district, was found tied to a police barricade near the Singhu protest site. The two persons had brutally killed Singh, for allegedly desecrating the holy book of Sikhism.

The police had previously arrested four persons – Sarabjeet Singh, Narain Singh, Bhagwant Singh, and Govind Preet Singh – who belong to the Nihang sect. All of them are in police custody.

The police has set up two Special Investigation Teams to probe the incident as they suspect more persons were involved.
