The holiest shrine of the Sikhs where devotees congregate at large from around the world to pay their tributes to Sri Guru Granth Sahib was a target of sacrilege on the unfortunate evening of December 18, 2021. The incident enacted during the evening prayers of Rehraas Sahib when an unidentified miscreant, who is believed to be of hindu origin jumped into the holy sanctum sanctorum of the temple with malice intent and pulled upon the holy sword on the temple priests. The altercating behavior of the miscreant was immediately acted upon and overpowered by the priests on duty to subdue the potential damage the miscreant would have caused otherwise to the lives of the worshippers present at the temple. Being one of the most visited places in India with an average foot traffic of 40,000 on any given day, the incident was not only terrorizing but also points towards the potential hate the perpetrator held towards the Sikh faith. The video released by SGPC depicts the perpetrator shouting chants right before pulling the sword on the priests but is not very clear on what the chants symbolize.

It is believed that the perpetrator suffered serious injuries while being subdued during this misfortunate event and had eventually succumbed to his own injuries during the entirety of this horrendous act. Authorities have registered the perpetrator with various acts of crime under the Indian Penal Code (IPC), whose identification remains unknown as of yet.
