A day after some alleged Pro-Khalistan slogans were found scribbled on the walls of two educational institutes in Karnal, police registered a case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act on Monday.
The said slogans were purportedly written overnight outside Dyal Singh College in Dyal Singh Colony and DAV Senior Secondary School near old MC office, and were blackened immediately by the administration, the police said.
The self-styled founder of banned terror outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, has reportedly released a video claiming the responsibility.
