The family of Lakhbir Singh, a Dalit farm labourer brutally killed by members of a Sikh sect for alleged sacrilege, said on Saturday he was a god-fearing man who would never think of desecrating a holy book and demanded a high-level probe to bring out the truth. His wife Jaspreet Kaur and three daughters aged 12, 11 and eight years live in a small temporary house made of mud
“He [Lakhbir Singh] could never target Guru Granth Sahib or Nihangs. We feel there was someone who was luring him or provoking him to do such things in lieu of money,” said Sukhchen Singh, brother-in-law of Lakhbir Singh.
