Clash between SGPC and Sikh radical groups

Violence erupted in the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar on Friday, when a task force of the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandak Committee ( SGPC) clashed with Sikh radical groups.

The clash took place after various groups staged protests over Simranjit Singh Mann, the head of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Mann Group), attempting to give a speech from the rostrum of the Akal Takht in the complex.

Television reports said that at least twelve people were injured in the clash. Media persons were also assaulted during the skirmish, the reports further said.

Shops in Amritsar downed their shutters after the fracas, which saw opposing groups brandishing kirpans, swords and spears within the Golden Temple complex.
