The Delhi Police has informed the Home Ministry about an embassy staffer of a Western European nation allegedly putting up “wanted” posters of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Chanakyapuri area. The incident came to light at around 7.30 am on May 29, when personnel from the Chanakyapuri police station noticed two such posters on electricity poles near the Carmel Convent School on Malcha Marg and the American Embassy School, police said.
Chanakyapuri houses several embassies and international institutions and is under heightened surveillance.”The beat staff alerted senior officers and instructions were issued to remove the posters,” a senior police officer said. Subsequently, police teams launched an investigation and scanned CCTV footage to ascertain theidentity of the person responsible.
“Upon reviewing the footage, a man in a blue shirt and black trousers was seen arriving on a bicycle at around 5.30 am. He was spotted putting up a poster on an electricity pole,” the officer said.
A police team visited the residence and found that the occupant is an employee at the embassy of a Western European nation. “The matter is being dealt with at the highest level. Senior officers of the New Delhi range submitted a report to police headquarters, which was subsequently communicated to the MHA last week,” a source said.
