CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Amid riots in the United Kingdom, India on Tuesday issued an advisory, urging its citizens visiting the country to be cautious and follow the the advice of security agencies.
The Indian High Commission in London is closely monitoring the situation. “Visitors from India are advised to stay vigilant and exercise due caution while travelling in the UK,” the High Commission said in a post on X.
This comes as the fatal stabbing of three young girls in the northwest English town of Southport last week resulted in anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim groups unleashing a wave of violence in English towns and cities.
Foreign states’ role
The UK government said it was examining whether or not foreign states played any role in the disinformation campaign which saw anti-muslim and anti-immigration protesters unleash riots.
The trigger for the riots happened last week after three girls were murdered at a Taylor Swift-themed event in Southport, a seaside town in
northern England. However, fake messages went viral stating that the suspected killer was an Islamist migrant.
