Two men were taken into custody in Amritsar after authorities discovered pro-Khalistan slogans painted on a public building. Police are investigating possible links to overseas activists.
Amritsar police arrested two men on Tuesday after a pro‑Khalistan graffiti was found on the wall of a municipal building. The slogans, written in Punjabi, called for the revival of the Khalistan movement.
The arrested individuals were identified by the police as local residents who had been seen in the area earlier that day. They were taken to the Amritsar police station for questioning.
Police spokespersons said the arrest was part of a broader crackdown on extremist propaganda. They added that the graffiti was deemed illegal under the Public Order Act.
Investigators are also probing alleged links between the suspects and pro‑Khalistan activists abroad, particularly in the United States. No further details have been released at this time.
