According to the police, the duo allegedly acted at the behest of Canada-based SFJ chief Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who promised them ₹2 lakh to deface public places by writing graffiti in a bid to disturb communal harmony and create unrest in the city days before January 26.

"The accused wrote some pro-Khalistan graffiti at two separate locations in Delhi just before the Republic Day," a senior police officer said.
