Police in Delhi have arrested the chief of right-wing organisation Hindu Sena in connection with the vandalism of Pakistan International Airlines office by the members of the group.
Hindu Sena chief Vishnu Gupta has been arrested under charges of being party to a criminal conspiracy, rioting, trespassing among others, police said.
"The police are still looking for the other Hindu Sena members who were involved in the vandalism," senior police officer Jatin Narwal said.
Yesterday, four members of Hindu Sena, ransacked the fifth floor office of Pakistan International Airlines at Delhi's Barakhamba Road around 3:15 pm, damaging computers, furniture and other items.
Police later arrested one member of the group, who was identified as Lalit Singh, while three others fled.
The members also left pamphlets which said,"There should be no talks with Pakistan unless they take stern action against people who have caused damage to India and hand over people like Dawood Ibrahim and Hafiz Saeed to India."
The incident prompted Islamabad to
take up the issue with the Ministry of External Affairs.
Owning responsibility of the incident, Mr Gupta had vented anger at Pakistan holding it responsible for the attacks at Pathankot air base as well as at the Indian consulate in the Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif recently.
Mr Gupta was also arrested last October, days after his complaint that "beef" was being served at Kerala House canteen here was found to be false.
