Delhi Police have opened an investigation into a threat against the Indian flag, news agency ANI reported late Saturday evening. The news agency claimed police had received an audio recording from an unknown number that said the flag would be removed from the city’s Pragati Maidan – which is to host a high-profile G20 meeting in September – and replaced with a Khalistan banner.
A case has been filed at the police station at the city’s Indira Gandhi International Airport; the audio recording was reportedly received by a passenger flying into the national capital.
More details are awaited.
