New Delhi: The walls of several metro stations across Delhi were found defaced with pro-Khalistan and anti-PM graffiti ahead of the G20 Summit September 8-10, police said Sunday.
The police received information that slogans were written at more than seven metro stations. A senior police officer stated that upon receiving the information, they promptly dispatched teams to each metro station.
“Derogatory slogans challenging the sovereignty of India were discovered at the following metro stations: Shivaji Park, Madipur, Paschim Vihar, Udyog Nagar, and Maharaja Surajmal Stadium; as well as Punjabi Bagh and Nangloi Metro Stations. The accused also defaced the Government Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya Nangloi with slogans. Khalistani supporters might be behind this act ahead of the G-20 Summit,” police source told IANS.
