# Vlogger alleges assault at Golden Temple, SGPC denies violence 2026-10-13T08:32:27+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets A travel vlogger has accused Golden Temple sewadars of assaulting him, confiscating his camera and forcing him to touch their feet at the shrine on 10 October. Nomad Kunjan of Bihar posted a tearful video on Instagram recounting that Nihang sewadars snatched his camera, deleted footage, roughed him up and made him bow before them in a room. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) said videography is banned inside the Golden Temple and that sewadars stop violators but do not beat them. It did not specify whether it will investigate Kunjan's allegations. The vlogger said he was shooting a night video of the temple when the incident occurred. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both outlets report the same allegations by vlogger Nomad Kunjan of rough handling and forced prostration at the Golden Temple on 10 October, and both carry the SGPC's denial that its sewadars use violence while enforcing the video ban. The coverage is uniform wire-style reporting: neither outlet adds commentary, editorialises, or selects a lead fact that could tilt the frame. Without any variation in framing between bhaskar.com and tv9hindi.com, the analysis rests on the story itself. The key unresolved question is whether SGPC will investigate the specific CCTV room footage Kunjan says was deleted, or treat the incident as a straightforward rule-enforcement matter. No next step is named by either source. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - bhaskar.com (neutral report) Neutral wire copy with no framing tilt - tv9hindi.com (neutral report) Neutral wire copy with no framing tilt This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
