Delhi Police have arrested three individuals, including the principal conspirator, for painting offensive graffiti glorifying the banned organization Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) at the Singhu Border area in the national capital in the run-up to the BRICS Summit.
According to police sources, the graffiti was discovered in prominent locations around the Singhu Border checkpoint area, where heavy security arrangements were already in place for the summit. The arrested individuals were identified as part of a coordinated effort allegedly directed by SFJ leadership. One of the accused has been described as the mastermind behind the operation, while the other two were involved in carrying out the act.
Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) is a banned organisation in India, listed under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The group has been active in propagating its separatist agenda through various means, including public demonstrations and social media campaigns. Police investigations revealed that the graffiti was painted specifically at the behest of the organisation's operatives.
A senior Delhi Police official stated that authorities were closely monitoring the situation and had zero tolerance for any activity aimed at disrupting the peaceful atmosphere during the BRICS Summit. 'We are ensuring that no such incidents mar the event,' the official said. 'Law enforcement agencies across the city remain on high alert.'
The police also recovered painting materials and mobile phones from the arrest site, which are being used as evidence in the investigation. Additional interrogations are expected to yield more information about the extent of SFJ's network in the region.
Security around the Singhu Border and key venues hosting the BRICS Summit has been significantly tightened, with extra personnel deployed and surveillance systems enhanced. Authorities have repeatedly urged citizens to report any suspicious activity immediately.
The case is currently being investigated, and further arrests are anticipated as probes continue into the roles played by different individuals involved in the propaganda campaign.
