Tensions between India and Pakistan have now extended to London, where diaspora members of both countries are demonstrating against each other. Meanwhile, an Indian-origin man has been arrested for allegedly smashing windows of Pakistan's high commission in UK's capital.
Following the horrific April 22 terror attack in J&K's Pahalgam, the tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated.
According to the Metropolitan police , 41-year-old Ankit Love was arrested and charged with criminal damage. The arrest came after police were informed of a man allegedly smashing windows of the diplomatic mission in the early hours of Sunday.
Love is expected to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday.
"Ankit Love, 41 (07.08.83) of no fixed address was charged with criminal damage on Sunday, 27 April," a Metropolitan Police spokesperson said.
"He was remanded in custody to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday, 28 April. The charge follows an incident at around 05:00hrs on Sunday, 27 April, when police were called to reports of a man allegedly smashing the windows of the Pakistani High Commission in Lowndes Square, Kensington and Chelsea," the spokesperson added.
Indian community organisations in London have been protesting since Friday against Pakistan's alleged support for cross-border terrorism . The demonstrations escalated after members of the Pakistani diaspora set up loudspeakers to drown out the slogans and chants of Indians.
Amid this, a Pakistani diplomat was arrested on Friday for making a threatening throat-slitting gesture towards Indian protestors in London.
