According to Dharamshala police, an investigation into the matter is underway.
The much-awaited ICC World Cup 2023 begins on October 5. Dharamsala will host five matches, the first of which will be played on October 7 between Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun threatened to disrupt the forthcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 late last month.
During a media interaction, Pannun said, "The SFJ is going to storm Ahmedabad with Khalistani flags. We will storm Modi stadium and turn the world cricket cup into world terror cup to avenge (Hardeep Singh) Nijjar’s killing.”
The opening match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 will take place on October 5 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
