New Delhi: The Pakistan Taliban beheaded three Sikhs and dumped their heads at a gurdwara in Peshawar, reports on Sunday said.
The Sikhs were picked up from a place called Badi in Peshawar on Sunday afternoon and then murdered. One of the dead men has been identified as Jaspal Singh.
Details about the murders are sketchy and it is not known whether the three men were residents of Peshawar or visitors. In 2009, the Taliban in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province (NWFP) forced the minority Sikh population to pay it lakhs of rupees as religious tax. |
