London: The Metropolitan Police has arrested a man in connection with the attack on the Indian High Commission office in London. The search is on. One of the people identified by the NIA in the case has been arrested. The accused was arrested while participating in a protest in front of India House demanding that the UK intervene against India in Canada’s allegations related to the murder of separatist Nijjar. Details of the suspect have not been released. Police said that the accused was taken into custody and released on bail.
Last March 19, the Indian High Commission was attacked by Khalistan activists. Attempts were made to pull down the national flag of India and demolish the building. Employees were injured in the attack. India had strongly protested the incident.
The new arrest was recorded after the Scotland Police clarified that it was not a crime to not allow the Indian High Commissioner to enter the Gurdwara in Scotland.
