New Delhi, May 12 (IANS ) An FIR has been filed after pro-Khalistan graffiti and slogans targeting India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi were spotted in the national capital on pillars beneath the Karol Bagh and Jhandewalan Metro stations in central Delhi.
An official said that steps to remove the graffiti and slogans from the pillar have been initiated while an FIR has been registered in this connection.

It is pertinent to mention that last November after searches in Punjab and Haryana, the Special Cell of Delhi Police arrested a 38-year-old man who had made pro-Khalistan graffiti on the walls of the ISBT flyover in September, for which he was offered money by the banned SFJ founder, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
The accused was identified as Malak Singh a.k.a Malik. He was arrested in Kurukshetra in Haryana.
The graffiti was found sprayed under and over Yudhister Setu, Kashmere Gate on September 27.
