Australia police release images of six men wanted in Khalistan referendum demonstration

Australia's Victoria state police have released images of six men, believed to have been involved in January 29, 2023, Khalistan referendum incident which was organised in Melbourne and led to two separate brawls between Khalistani activists and pro-India demonstrators.

In a tweet from their official handle on 20 March, Victoria Police appealed for public assistance to provide information on the men involved.

According to the police, several people were injured in the incidents.

This comes a day after India lodged a strong protest and summoned the senior-most UK diplomat over the complete 'absence of security' after videos of pulling down of the Indian flag at the Indian mission in London during a protest by pro-Khalistan elements emerged on social media.
