Two people were arrested on Wednesday in connection with the violent protest outside the Indian High Commissioner in London over Kashmir. The arrests came a day after the Indian High Commission in London was vandalised after a protest over Kashmir turned violent.

Protesters smashed windows of the Indian High Commission and even broke a windowpane of the building as they carried flags of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) and raised "freedom" slogans.

Confirming the violent protest, the Indian High Commission had tweeted, "Another violent protest outside the Indian High Commission in London today, 3 September 2019. Damage caused to the premises." The Indian High Commission had also shared a photo of the damaged window pane on Twitter.

Responding to the tweet by India in the UK, London Mayor Sadiq Khan Calling the incident “unacceptable,” the Ministry of External Affairs in a statement said, “This is the second time in a less than a month that such an incident has taken place affecting security and normal functioning of our Mission. We consider these incidents to be unacceptable and have strongly urged Govt of UK to take action against those involved. And take the necessary steps to ensure the normal functioning of our mission and the safety and security of our personnel,”.

This is the second time violent protests have taken place outside the IHC building in London over the Kashmir issue. Earlier, clashes had taken place on the Independence Day on August 15.
