NANDED: A mob of sword-wielding Sikhs on Monday attacked policemen, injuring at least four of them, after being denied permission to hold a public procession in Nanded due to the coronavirus pandemic, an official said.

A viral video showed the sword-wielding mob barging out of the gurdwara, breaking the barricades put up by police and attacking the policemen.

Several vehicles were also damaged in the violence.

"Permission for the Hola Mohalla public procession was not granted due to the pandemic. The gurdwara committee was informed and they had assured us that they would abide by our directives and hold the event inside the gurdwara premises," Nanded Range DIG Nisar Tamboli told PTI.

He said six vehicles of police were damaged by the mob.

Tamboli said an FIR will be registered against at least 200 people under sections 307 (attempt to murder), 324 (voluntary causing hurt with dangerous weapons), 188 (Disobeying the order of public servant), 269 (Negligent act likely to spread infection) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and for rioting.

"Those involved in violence will be arrested," he added.

Nishan Sahib is a triangular saffron-coloured flag furling outside a gurdwara on a steel pole covered with a saffron-coloured cloth.

The flag also has an insignia called Khanda in the middle, which includes two swords and a chakra.

Hola Mohalla (Hola) is a Sikh festival that comes a day after Holi.

Unlike Holi, when people sprinkle the coloured powder on each other, Hola Mohalla is an occasion for Sikhs to demonstrate their martial skills.

Nanded is an important Sikh pilgrimage centre as it is home to a sacred shrine, the Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchal Nagar Sahib.

It was here that the 10th and last Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708), anointed the holy book Guru Granth Sahib as the eternal Guru of Sikhism and spent the last 14 months of his life.

Looks like Nanded's police is retaliating. 

It's not retaliation. It's tyranny. 

This is why you caress or kill people. If they'd killed all the cops they'd have a deal going. Hurt ones feelings and they'll put boots to everybody. 

Instead of 200 people hurting four people, if each person had hurt four people, it'd be 800 reasons to think twice. 

Now I'm not espousing violence. I'm saying what machiavelli did. Caress or kill them. And if it's kill, then go all the way.

Middle grounds are awkward. Either you have to hugging saint procession your way out or charge your way out for real. 

The frustrations of those who had their religous freedoms stripped from them in certain states of hindustan are totally understandable. Really that protest skirmish wasn't a big deal. But it shows the backlash to be expected even for a minor incident. 

Sikhs have filled hindustani jails for too long to no avail. To be honest the mass arrests allowed in the past have already been done.

100 percent. The Hazoori Fauj does it all the time whenever the police blocks the entrance. Moreover,  perhaps the most angering thing to see is these blind Indian nationalists defending police brutality against teens in police stations. These coming years between Sikhs and the Indian state are going to be very interesting. The overall energy is different.
