Eyewitnesses allege the man had tried to commit a sacrilegious act at the Golden Temple in India.
Police in the Indian city of Amritsar say a man suspected of trying to commit a sacrilegious act at Sikhism's holiest shrine has been beaten to death.
The man allegedly barged into the inner sanctum, where Sikhism's holy book, the Guru Granth Sahib, is kept. The scuffle took place at around 17:45 local time , and was captured on camera as evening prayers were being broadcast on television. In a tweet, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi said he had ordered police to "zero in" on the "underlying motive and real conspirators behind this dastardly act".
