Indian general who led Golden Temple raid injured in London stabbing
LONDON – An Indian army general who helped lead a deadly 1984 raid on Sikhism’s holiest shrine has been stabbed and wounded in London.
Lt. Gen. Kuldeep Singh Brar told Indian media that the attack by four men was an assassination attempt.
The general was involved in the storming of the Golden Temple in Amritsar to flush out Sikh militants, an operation in which more than 1,000 people were killed.
London’s Metropolitan Police have appealed for witnesses to Sunday’s stabbing, which happened near the busy Oxford Street shopping area.
The force said the 78-year-old victim was slashed in the neck and described the attackers as four bearded men wearing dark clothing.
The police force said it was treating the attack as attempted murder. Brar was treated in a London hospital and released.
