pro khalistani slogans

Police said that the case was registered after Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) asked Delhi Police to take appropriate legal action.

The police on Tuesday arrested a person for allegedly putting Khalistan related slogans on the wall of his house.

Carrying the tricolour and placards, protesters raised the slogan "Bharat humara swabhiman hai (India is our pride)" and said that they will not tolerate any insult to the national flag.

Pro-Khalistan slogans were discovered at Delhi metro stations, triggering a police investigation. The slogans were allegedly written by supporters of the banned Sikh separatist group Sikhs For Justice (SFJ). Similar incidents have occurred in the past. Indian laws such as Sections 153A and 505 of the Indian Penal Code criminalize such actions, aiming to maintain public tranquility and prevent incitement of violence or communal tension.

Delhi Police has started a probe into the matter and said that it is taking legal action.

Malak was promised a hefty payment in dollars and a US visa for completing the tasks. He had been inclined towards the Khalistani ideology since his teenage years and had gained Pannun's trust.
