The Amritsar Commissionerate Police achieved a significant milestone by swiftly solving a pro-Khalistan graffiti case that occurred on the night of August 6-7. The Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab, Gaurav Yadav, confirmed this breakthrough on Friday, revealing that two individuals from Dargabad village, including a minor, were apprehended within just 24 hours of the incident.

DGP Yadav detailed the operation on social media platform X, highlighting that the accused, who were in contact with foreign-based Shamsher Singh alias Shera Mann, executed the graffiti based on instructions from Gurpatwant Singh Pannu. The designs and directives were conveyed through Snapchat, yet the promised compensation was reportedly withheld.

Authorities have registered an FIR, and investigations are ongoing to prevent similar anti-national activities. Previously, the Amritsar police managed to nab four suspects involved in cross-border arms smuggling, seizing advanced weaponry, emphasizing their commitment to maintaining law and order in the region.
