INDIAN Americans on Monday expressed outrage at the incidents of vandalism and defacing of the Indian Consulate in San Francisco and urged the city police and law-enforcement officials to take immediate and necessary actions against those responsible.

“We call on the San Francisco Police (SFO) Department to take immediate action against those responsible for the recent vandalism at the consulate and provide safety and security to all working there and visiting the embassy for their needs,” community leader Ajay Jain Bhutoria said a day after the Sikh separatists vandalised the Indian consulate.

One of the consulate employees sustained minor injuries. Indiaspora condemned the violence and vandalism at the Indian Consulate. “We hope our friends at the consulate and our community in the Bay Area are safe and that swift action is taken by law enforcement.”
