The Delhi Police has registered a case in connection with the protest in front of the Indian High Commission in London on March 19, 2023. The case has been registered under appropriate sections of IPC, UAPA and PDPP Act, the Delhi police said.

It was done after the Ministry of Home Affairs directed the Delhi Police to take appropriate legal action on the receipt of a report from the Ministry of External Affairs over the incident at the Indian High Commission March 19. During the protest in London, a protestor on Sunday climbed the mission's balcony and pulled down the Indian flag.

In a video of the incident, a man is seen on the balcony bringing down the Indian flag. Towards the end of the video, a man believed to be an Indian official comes to the balcony from inside the mission and snatches the flag before the protestor could do any further vandalism.

Notably, several accounts of pro-Khalistani leaders have been blocked in India following protests over the crackdown against separatist leader Amritpal Singh.
