The High Commission of India in London issued a safety advisory for Indian nationals amid violent clashes which have targeted immigrants and asylum-seekers in parts of the UK.

The advisory posted on the social media channels of the Indian mission also provides emergency contact information for anyone in need of urgent assistance. It comes a week after the fatal stabbing of three young girls in Southport, north-west England, and incorrect social media claims over the UK-born suspect's asylum-seeker status.
