Metropolitan Police officers arrested a man on suspicion of violent disorder on Sunday, after a crowd incident in which windows were smashed at the <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/india/" target="_blank">Indian</a> High Commission in <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/london/" target="_blank">London</a>. Police attended the building in Aldwych, Westminster, at about 1.50pm, and two security guards sustained minor injuries. Videos on <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/social-media/" target="_blank">social media</a> showed a man detaching the Indian flag from the first-floor balcony of the building while a crowd of people below waving bright yellow “Khalistan” banners appeared to encourage him. They are believed to be supporters of a Sikh separatist movement looking to create a new homeland or breakaway state. The Met has launched an investigation into the incident. “Officers attended the location," a representative said. "The majority of those present had dispersed prior to the arrival of police. “An investigation was launched, and one male was arrested near by a short time later on suspicion of violent disorder. Inquiries continue.” The incident was denounced on Twitter by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, Foreign Office minister Lord Tariq Ahmad of Wimbledon, and the British High Commissioner to India, Alex Ellis. “I condemn the violent disorder and vandalism that took place at the Indian High Commission today," Mr Khan said. “There is no place in our city for this kind of behaviour.” Lord Ahmad wrote: “Am appalled by today’s attack on the Indian High Commission in London. “This is a completely unacceptable action against the integrity of the mission and its staff. “The UK government will always take the security of the Indian High Commission seriously.” Mr Ellis said: “I condemn the disgraceful acts today against the people and premises of the @HCI_London – totally unacceptable.”
