Upon reaching Delhi, Guru Tegh Bahadur was arrested and subjected to severe torture, yet he refused to renounce his faith.

Moreover, Guru Tegh Bahadur’s martyrdom served as a turning point in Sikh history. It galvanized the Sikh community and inspired them to stand up against religious persecution.
