Unknown miscreants vandalised the statue of Mahatma Gandhi outside the Indian embassy in Washington DC with graffiti and spray paint, prompting the mission to register a complaint with the local law enforcement agencies.
The vandalism took place during nationwide protests against the custodial killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25. The incident is reported to have taken place on the night of June 2, officials said.
The Indian embassy has informed the state department and registered a complaint with local law enforcement agencies, which are now conducting an investigation into the incident.
