The police said the Sikhs For Justice (SFI) released raw footage of Delhi Metro stations where Khalistan pro-slogans are written on the walls. SFJ activists were present in multiple metro stations in Delhi, from Shivaji Park to Punjabi Bagh, with pro-Khalistan slogans, according to the Delhi Police.
Several metro stations in Delhi have been defaced with pro-Khalistan slogans, leading to a case being registered by the police. The defacement comes ahead of the G20 Summit, which is set to be hosted in Delhi next month. The case has been registered under sections 153 A, section 505 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Defacement Act. Suspected activists of Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), a separatist group, are believed to be responsible for the defacement.
