Tuesday's incident marked the second time after India raised concerns over protests outside the Indian High Commission on August 15. Meanwhile, London police arrested four people in connection with the incident. A foot-long dagger was recovered from one of the protesters, the police informed.
The protest began while the city&rsquo;s Indian diaspora&rsquo;s Independence Day celebrations were disrupted by Pakistan-backed protestors and anti-Khalistani elements, who pelted stones and eggs on embassy building and Indians gathered outside. The protests were reportedly organised against the Indian government's move to revoke Article 370 that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
