Delhi Court Discharges UK National on Flag Insult, Frames UAPA Charges in London Protest Case
A Delhi court discharged UK national Inderpal Singh Gaba of charges related to insulting the Indian national flag during a March 2023 protest outside the Indian High Commission in London, citing the offence occurred on foreign soil. However, the court framed charges against him under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for his alleged involvement in the protest, which included pro-Khalistan slogans and flag-related actions. Gaba was arrested at the Attari border in April 2024 and is challenging the UAPA charges in court.
