Read our privacy policy Security barricades were removed from outside the British High Commission in Delhi and the British High Commissioner’s residence, in what is widely being seen as tit-for-tat action, days after India protested the lack of security outside the Indian mission in London. Several videos shared on social media showed security apparatus provided by Delhi police missing from outside the British High Commission. On Wednesday, security was beefed up outside the Indian High Commission in London ahead of a planned anti-India protest, shortly after it was reported that security was reduced outside British mission in Delhi, NDTV reported. The reduction of security from outside the British mission is similar to the December 2013 incident when barricades around the US embassy in Delhi were removed after Indian Consul General in New York Devyani Khobragade was arrested in New York for visa fraud charges and for alleged violation of labour rules in her residence over her alleged exploitation of an Indian domestic worker The ties between the UK and India have been under stress lately after a BBC documentary in January over Indian prime minister Narendra Modi’s role in the Gujarat riots 2002 triggered controversy.
