Police on Tuesday said that it received information about graffiti resembling a foreign flag (Israel) painted on the road outside the main entrance of Imambara Zadibal in central Kashmir’s Srinagar district.
In a handout, the police said that acting swiftly, a Police team reached the location and ensured immediate removal of the graffiti to maintain communal harmony and public order.
Preliminary enquiry revealed the involvement of three local teenage girls (names withheld due to age), all students residing in the area, they said.
Given their age and the sensitivity of the act, their parents were called to the Police Station and the minors were counselled in their presence.
They were sensitised about the implications of such actions and the need to uphold communal harmony and responsible civic behaviour.
Legal action shall follow strictly in accordance with the juvenile justice framework.
Srinagar Police remains committed to maintaining peace, public order, and communal harmony across the district, reads the statement.(GNS)
