A case has also been registered against unidentified people. Kangra SP Khushal Sharma said the officials have removed the Khalistan flags from the Vidhan Sabha gate. He also suspected it to be an act of some tourists from Punjab.

The incident came after the Anti-Terrorist Front of India burnt the Khalistan flag outside the deputy commissioner’s office in Shimla on Friday. The group was led by its national president Viresh Shandilaya and Himachal Pradesh unit chief Rajkumar Agarwal who burnt the flag and also raised slogans against the demands of Khalistan. Shandilaya also announced a Rs 51 lakh cash reward for that person who will behead the Sikhs For Justice leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannu.

Pannu called for hoisting the Khalistani flag in Shimla on the same day.
