An act of vandalism from earlier in the year at the Indian High Commission in London is in the spotlight.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has shared the footage of the incident, which took place on 19 March, with the public.
Pro-Khalistani protestors had caused damage to the High Commission complex and pulled down the national flag during their agitation.
The NIA has requested the public to help identify the miscreants seen in the CCTV footage of the attack.
The probe body has uploaded the footage and urged the members of the public to come forward with any information they may have.

To facilitate sharing information, the NIA has provided a WhatsApp number for the public to use. The number is +91 7290009373.
Anyone with information about the persons seen in the footage can send it to this number. The NIA has assured that the identity of the informant will be kept secret.
The NIA has released five security camera videos on its website. These videos capture nearly two hours of footage from multiple angles.
The agency took over the case from the Special Cell of Delhi Police last month. The move was initiated after pro-Khalistani activists attempted to vandalise the High Commission of India in the United Kingdom.
The move by the pro-Khalistani activists has alarmed the Indian authorities. The activists managed to pull down the national flag during the protest, which led to widespread condemnation.
Following this incident, there were further agitations in San Francisco and other cities. The agitations are believed to be linked to the crackdown launched by Punjab Police against radical preacher Amritpal Singh.
