In a shocking incident at the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar, Punjab, five individuals suffered injuries when a man armed with a rod launched an attack. According to police reports, the assailant was apprehended shortly after, and the situation is now under control.

The attack occurred near the community kitchen (Guru Ram Das langar), creating panic among the devotees and locals present at the time.

Among the injured were two volunteers (sewadars) from the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). One of the wounded individuals has since been admitted to the Sri Guru Ram Das Institute of Medical Sciences and Research in Amritsar.

Law enforcement took swift action, arresting both the attacker and an accomplice after they were subdued by bystanders. Police revealed that the assailant had scouted the area prior to the attack. “The second suspect reportedly conducted a reconnaissance alongside the primary attacker,” a police officer informed the media.

The main suspect was identified as Zulfan from Haryana, who also sustained injuries during the incident. Authorities are currently investigating the motive behind the attack, and emphasized that there is no reason for the public to panic.

The incident has caused significant alarm within the Sikh community. The SGPC, regarded as the ‘Mini Parliament’ of Sikhism, has lodged a formal complaint against the perpetrator. Concerns regarding the security of devotees have also been heightened, especially following a previous incident in December, where a man fired at Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal at the Golden Temple’s entrance. That assailant, identified as Narayan Singh Chaura, was apprehended by security personnel.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
