Unprecedented security surrounded the Indian embassy in Washington DC on August 15, 2023, amid a protest by Khalistan activists. Multiple armed police units, including mounted and motorcycle officers, protected the embassy and nearby Gandhi statue. Despite being closed for the holiday, the embassy took precautions after recent attacks on the San Francisco consulate. Demonstrators gathered for over an hour, waving flags and shouting slogans. The multi-agency security effort ensured a peaceful demonstration on the sensitive anniversary. The embassy coordinated closely with US authorities to avoid any vandalism or violence by activists.
