According to a statement made by California attorney general Rob Bonta, Yuba City Police Chief Brian Baker, and Sutter County District Attorney Jennifer Dupré, the 17 felony arrests, mostly of members of the local Sikh community, were made on Sunday during a massive operation that involved agents executing search warrants at 20 locations in Northern California.
The security personnel have reached the Gurudwara amid an ongoing search for fugitive pro-Khalistani separatist leader Amritpal Singh and one of his mentors, Papalpreet Singh.
On December 14 2022, OpIndia reported how several posters extolling Khalistani terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and denouncing the Indian Armed Forces were put up in a Gurudwara in the Mango city in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand
In a clear reference to Operation Blue Star, one of the posters on display at the Gurudwara in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, criticised and falsely accused the Indian Armed Forces of killing Sikhs.
