CHANDIGARH: A police personnel was killed while two others suffered injuries after Nihang Sikhs opened fire at them in Punjab’s Sultanpur Lodhi on Thursday morning.
The firing was a result of tension brewing between two groups of Nihangs over control of a gurdwara.
The incident took place when the policemen went to arrest some Nihangs in a case registered against them, said a senior police official while talking to news agency PTI.
“The policemen were standing on the road when the Nihangs opened fire at them,” said Kapurthala superintendent of police (Headquarters) Tejbir Singh Hundal.
Police personnel in large numbers have been deployed in the area.
