A Pro-Khalistan supporter has been arrested from Nanded in Maharasthra on Saturday. As per ABP News sources, suporter named Sarabjit Singh Kirat has been arrested during a joint operation of Nanded Police and Punjab Police CID. Punjab CID had traced the location of the Pro-Khalistan supporter and informed the police.

The arrested person is a resident of Ludhiana and is being taken to Punjab, as per the Nanded Police. The arrest comes on the backdrop of the ongoing farmer’s agitation that flared up on Republic Day marring the celebrations.

Last week, the Delhi Police said it has registered an FIR against unnamed persons in connection with the "toolkit", which was shared by teen climate activist Greta Thunberg and others on Twitter, as per PTI.  The report quoted top official saying that the initial probe has suggested the document''s link with a pro-Khalistan group. 

Delhi Police's followed up with the investigation in the backdrop of global celebrities such as singer Rihanna and Thunberg supporting the farmers'' protests against the three farm laws. Lending her support to the farmers'' agitation, the teen activist had shared "a toolkit for those who want to help".

The link of toolkit given in the Twitter takes the user to a document containing details on ways to support the protest. In the document, various urgent actions, including creating a Twitter storm and protesting outside Indian embassies, were listed which were needed to be taken to support the farmers'' protest. The Delhi Police come across a document "toolkit" which has an action plan to spread social disharmony in the country and registered a case against its author on charges of criminal conspiracy, sedition and others. 

Meanwhile, Indo-Canadian organisations are tying to counter the narrative related to the ongoing farmers’ protests in India, as they believe that the agenda has largely been hijacked by pro-Khalistan elements in Canada.
