After this, we searched for more keywords on YouTube and we found many videos in which a turban-cladded man is seen raising slogans of Khalistan. In a video published on 10 July 2019, you can see that some police are taking two turban cladded men with them. On seeing, the police uniform we can understand that the policeman are not from India. The title of the video reads, “Khalistan Zindabad slogans were raised during India and New Zealand matches in World Cup 2019.”

Subsequently, considering the information given along with the above three videos, we searched for more keywords on YouTube, and we found a video broadcast by ANI News on its official YouTube channel. This video was published on 7 July 2019 and captioned, “Sikhs in Britain shout pro-Khalistan slogans during World Cup matches.” According to the description of the video it mentioned that “Sikhs living in United Kingdom have categorically denounced pro-Khalistan slogans raised during the ICC World Cup 2019 matches in the United Kingdom. Several videos have gone viral on social media where some Sikhs along with Pakistani fans were seen raising Pakistani and Khalistan flags and shouting Khalistan Zindabad’ and Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans. It clearly indicates an attempt by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to malign India’s image and use sports platform for its political gains. “

You can see the viral video from the timestamp of 0.20 to 0.25 minutes.
