London’s Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation into an incident involving a senior Pakistani official making a threatening throat-slitting gesture towards protesters. The incident occurred outside the Pakistan High Commission in London, where Indian-origin protesters were demonstrating against a recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, according to NEWS 18 The official in question, Colonel Taimur, who serves as the Army and Air Adviser at the Pakistan High Commission, was caught on camera making the threatening gesture. The video, which went viral online, shows Colonel Taimur standing near a large banner that reads “Pakistan stands with Kashmiris.” While standing there, he is seen making a throat-slitting motion towards the protesters. In the video, the protesters can be heard condemning the terrorist attack, and they were holding signs demanding justice. The protest was organized by individuals of Indian origin, many of whom were expressing their concern over the ongoing violence in Jammu and Kashmir. Colonel Taimur's actions have sparked widespread outrage, with many accusing him of inciting violence. One of the protesters, who wished to remain anonymous, said, “It’s very disturbing to see such aggressive behavior from a senior official. We were peacefully protesting, and this gesture is completely inappropriate." The Pakistan High Commission has yet to comment publicly on the incident, but the Metropolitan Police have confirmed they are investigating the matter. A spokesperson for the police stated, “We are aware of the video circulating online and are conducting inquiries to establish the full circumstances of the incident.” Political analysts believe the gesture could escalate tensions between India and Pakistan, especially as both countries continue to have strained relations over the situation in Kashmir. "We expect the authorities to take this matter seriously,” said an expert in international relations. “Such gestures can easily be misinterpreted and could further inflame already heightened tensions between the two nations." As the investigation continues, authorities are working to gather more evidence and determine whether any laws were violated.
