The police got here in to interrupt up the protests. However, the agitators continued with their sloganeering, chanting “Indian government, shame, shame”.

Following the vandalism on the Indian High Commission, the UK High Commissioner to India, Alex Ellis, tweeted his condemnation of the occasions. He wrote: “I condemn the disgraceful acts today against the people and premises of the Indian High commission – totally unacceptable.”

According to some studies, the Ministry of External Affairs summoned the senior diplomat of the British High Commission in India to debate the state of affairs.

The Punjab Police launched a large manhunt to arrest Khalistani chief Amritpal Singh on Saturday. However, the separatist chief continues to evade the police, the cops stated.
