A kirpan struck Sukhbir Singh Badal inside a gurdwara.

The attack, at one of Sikhism’s five Takhts, stakes a claim on religious authority itself.

62-year-old Jaspal Singh, a Pune lawyer tied to the shrine for two years, was detained at the scene.

Maharashtra ordered a security-lapse probe; the Akal Takht Jathedar has not named a motive.
