OTTAWA: Police in Vancouver have released images of a vehicle and two persons suspected of vandalising the Khalsa Diwan Society Gurdwara on Ross Street last week.
The suspects were reportedly outside the gurdwara when it was spray-painted with graffiti in both English and Punjabi and included the word "murdabad" (death to), on Saturday morning.
Anyone who recognises them is asked to contact police, said sergeant Steve Addison, a spokesperson for Vancouver police department.
He said the vehicle drove through the area around the time of the offence between 4 and 4.30 am on Saturday.
Khalsa Diwan Society blamed the vandalism on a small group of Sikh separatists advocating for Khalistan. "This act is part of an ongoing campaign by extremist forces that seek to instil fear and division within the Canadian Sikh community."
