More than two hours of CCTV video of the attempted vandalism of the Indian High Commission in London, United Kingdom, by anti-national elements have been made public by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). In the public interest, the NIA has asked the public to send information on the people seen in the CCTV film to the agency, news agency ANI reported.
While vowing to keep the name of the informant a secret, the NIA has released CCTV video from the Khalistani assault and provided a WhatsApp number for information on the vandals.
"CCTV footage of the attack by anti-national elements on High Commission of India London, which happened on 19.03.2023 is uploaded above. All the members of the public are requested to provide any information regarding the persons seen in the footage to the NIA in the public interest. Information may be provided on Whatsapp No +91 7290009373. The identity of the informant shall be kept secret," NIA's official statement was quoted by ANI in it report.
Notably, on March 19, a pro-Khalistan protester in London scaled the balcony of the Indian High Commission and removed the Indian flag.
On social media, a video of the event went viral. The Khalistani protester can be seen on the balcony attempting to lower the Indian flag in the then-viral footage. Another man enters the balcony from inside to stop more damage to the flag towards the end of the film.
The Indian community protested the "disrespectful act" of supporters of Khalistan towards the Indian flag on March 19 in front of the Indian High Commission in London, and they demanded that London Mayor Sadiq Khan and the British government take swift action against the offenders.
