Team Blitz India
NEW DELHI: A five-member team of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) will travel to the UK next week as part of the agency’s probe into a demonstration by pro-Khalistan protesters outside the Indian High Commission in London on March 19.
A High Commission staffer had alleged that he was attacked and injured by one protester who tried to bring down the Tricolour, and that the mob outside caused “extensive damage” to the mission’s property.
Protestors of the Khalistan movement had held a demonstration outside of the Indian High Commission in London and grabbed the tricolour flying atop the building, waving separatist flags and chanting pro-Khalistani slogans, demanding that radical Sikh preacher and Khalistan sympathiser Amritpal Singh be “freed”.
Last month, the Union Home Ministry had directed NIA to file a fresh case in connection with the attack and directed Delhi Police, which had registered an FIR under UAPA, to hand over the probe to NIA,
media reports said on May 18.
