After balloons in Punjab and Rajasthan carrying hate messages allegedly from Pakistan, apples from Kashmir with anti-India messages scribbled on them have found way to Sirsa.

The incident came to light on Thursday when Prayag, a resident of Sirsa, opened a box containing apples bought from a vendor Rajinder Singh from outside the local fruit market.

Sirsa SHO Gurdial Singh said investigations were in progress to ascertain the source of the apple consignments.

"During investigations we have found that Rajinder had bought the apple boxes from one Raju Arora, a trader who procures apples from seven places. This is confirmed that the apples have been directly procured from Kashmir growers or traders. We are yet to reach out to the actual supplier or receiver," he said.
