U.S.-based Sikhs For Justice leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun was booked under anti-terror law UAPA and other penal offences on Sunday after Khalistani banners were found put up and graffiti scrawled on walls near the main gate of the Himachal Pradesh Assembly complex in Dharamshala, police said.
Amid some pro-Khalistan activities in parts of Himachal and other neighbouring States and the announcement of June 6 as Khalistan “referendum day”, the State police chief also ordered the “sealing” of the border and beefing up state-wide security at sensitive and crowded places.
The State border has been “sealed” to regulate movements of suspicious elements across it and keeping a strict vigil there, police said.
