The PTI report states that the killing enraged the minority Sikh community in Afghanistan so much that it staged a demonstration with the slain Sikh man’s body and placed it in front of the provincial governor’s house in Jalalabad to demand the arrest of the militants.
Later, the report says the Deputy Governor Mohammad Hanif Gardiwal met the protesting Sikhs and heard them.
He said a case had been filed and a manhunt launched to nab the culprits.
