His name came to international attention when he was murdered at the age of 57 in a 24 May 2009 attack on the Guru Ravidass Temple in Austria by Sikh radicals.[2] Rama Nand suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died in the hospital early on 25 May 2009.[3] The attack triggered rioting across much of northern India. He was cremated with full state honors on 4 June 2009, in Dera Sachkhand, India.
