A group of Khalistani extremists attempted to disrupt the visit of India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in London, with a protest escalating into a security breach. As Jaishankar was leaving the Chatham House venue after a discussion, a man ran toward his car and tore the Indian national flag in front of police officers.

A video of the incident, now circulating online, shows the man aggressively rushing towards the minister's convoy while officers initially appeared hesitant to act. The protester can be seen tearing the tricolour as others shouted slogans. However, moments later, the police moved in and took him and other extremists away.

Another video surfaced showing Khalistani extremists protesting outside the venue where Jaishankar was participating in a discussion. The footage captures them waving flags and chanting pro-Khalistani slogans.
