Authorities launched an investigation after vandals defaced the Mahatma Gandhi statue at Tavistock Square in London on Monday. Anti-India graffiti appeared on the bronze monument's plinth three days before Gandhi Jayanti celebrations scheduled for October 2. The Metropolitan Police and Camden Council responded to reports of the damage at the site.

India's High Commission condemned the act and contacted local officials to coordinate restoration efforts. Representatives described the vandalism as an assault on peace principles ahead of the International Day of Non-Violence. The 1968 sculpture depicts Gandhi in meditation and serves as the centerpiece for annual tributes.

Tavistock Square functions as London's peace park with multiple memorials honoring victims of war and conflict. The vandalism angered community members who gather at the location each year to commemorate Gandhi's legacy through flowers and traditional songs.
