A gurdwara caretaker was arrested in the Kapurthala lynching case on Friday. This comes after Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi refuted claims of a sacrilege bid at the Kapurthala gurdwara.
Charanjit Singh Channi said that investigation into the incident showed that no sacrilege had taken place, unlike what had been alleged by gurdwara authorities.
The Bills provide for punishment up to life imprisonment for whoever causes injury, damage or sacrilege to any of the Holy books with the intention to hurt religious feelings of people.
