The Story in Brief
Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal was discharged from a hospital in Nanded on Friday and flew to Delhi after being attacked inside a gurdwara a day earlier. Rediff reports that he underwent 90-minute surgery to repair a tendon injury and his ulnar artery nerve, while Hindustan Times says he received two to three stitches on his right hand. Badal was stable and out of danger. Police arrested 63-year-old gurdwara sewadar Jaspal Singh, who has been booked for attempt to murder under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. A Nanded court remanded him to police custody until August 24.
The Indian Opinion
The loudest claims are already assigning the attack to “anti-national” or “anti-Punjab” forces, while others may reduce it to a routine security lapse. Neither is established. Police have not found a concrete motive, and the accused’s alleged act still requires a fair investigation and trial. The useful test is simple: what evidence emerges from the interrogation, CCTV footage and the police chargesheet?
