Overview
- Pro‑Khalistan slogans that threatened Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh were found at Jahangirpuri and Shastri Nagar metro stations on October 29 and October 30, police said.
- Delhi Police Special Cell arrested three suspects on Sunday after tracing them with CCTV, technical analysis and local intelligence; the accused are identified as Sumeet (Raftar), Sumit Kumar (Kaka) and Gurpreet.
- Investigators allege the suspects acted on instructions from handlers tied to the banned SFJ, who supplied graffiti templates through an encrypted messaging app and promised about ₹1 lakh for the operation.
- Two FIRs were registered at Metro Azadpur and Metro NSP under the Delhi Prevention of Defacement of Public Property Act, 2007 and the Metro Railway (Operation and Maintenance) Act, 2002, and the probe is following digital and financial leads including an alleged ₹10,000 hawala payment.
- Police said the case is being expanded to identify overseas or wider network links and to examine related graffiti incidents such as the GTK Bypass matter, while the arrests underscore how encrypted apps and covert payments can be used to direct remote vandalism.
