A day after detaining two youth for displaying foreign flags, the Jammu and Kashmir Police on Tuesday (June 24, 2025) “counselled” three teenage girls over a graffiti resembling the Israeli flag.
A police spokesman said that when they received information about the graffiti painted on a road outside Imambara Zadibal, a team reached the spot and immediately removed it “to maintain communal harmony and public order”.
A preliminary enquiry revealed the involvement of three teenage girls, all students residing in the area. “Given their age and the sensitivity of the act, their parents were called to the police station. The minors were counselled in their presence,” the police said.
The police said further action would be strictly in accordance with the juvenile justice framework.
On Monday (June 23, 2025), two local youth were detained for displaying flags of the U.S. and Israel in Balhama on the outskirts of the Srinagar city.
