India, March 31 -- Tension gripped Nangal village in Phillaur sub division of Jalandhar district on Monday after the banned terror outfit, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), disfigured the protective glass installed around the statue of BR Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution of India.

Police said the incident came to light in the morning when pro-Khalistan and anti-Constitution slogans were found spray-painted on the glass shield by unidentified SFJ supporter(s). A banner was also put up.
