Share

Six people, including two priests, were stabbed to death in a Sikh temple in the worst incident of violence in India’s Punjab state since the army raided the religion’s Golden Temple last summer, the Press Trust of India reported. It said the bodies were discovered after the six apparently were slain Sunday night in the Bhatinda district of Punjab, about 150 miles north of New Delhi. One of the dead priests was in charge of the temple. Punjab Police Director General K.S. Dhillon was quoted as saying that a possible motive was “personal enmity.”
