On Sunday, an Indian police officer's hand was chopped off with a sword while he was trying to enforce lockdown measures implemented due to the novel coronavirus.
The hand of Harjit Singh, an assistant sub inspector for the Punjab police, was chopped off while he patrolled outside a vegetable market in Patiala, a city in northwestern India. While patrolling the area, a truck carrying seven men, who belong to the Sikh minority warrior sect known as the Nihangs, were stopped at a barricade.
According to TheHindu.com, the main perpetrator of the attack was a man named Baba Balwinder Singh, one of the leaders of the Nihang group. "The accused included five persons involved in the attack on the police team posted at the vegetable market in Sanaur early on Sunday morning. They had crashed through a series of barricades and attacked the police personnel who inquired about their curfew passes," Gupta added.
Singh underwent several hours of surgery, with doctors reattaching his severed hand to his left wrist.
