Sukhbir Badal, the leader of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and former Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab, narrowly escaped an assassination attempt near the Mata Sahib Gurdwara in Nanded on Thursday. The attack, which left Badal with a hand injury, was carried out by a Nihang Sikh wielding a kirpan. The assailant has been apprehended by authorities.
Badal, who is under the highest level of security, was immediately transported to a private hospital for treatment. A security personnel assigned to his protection was also wounded during the incident. This is not the first time the 64-year-old leader has faced a life-threatening situation. In December 2024, a gunman identified as Narain Singh, believed to be a Khalistani activist, fired upon Badal at the entrance of the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
Despite being a guard at the temple as part of a penance, Badal was protected by temple authorities who subdued the attacker before he could fire.
