London:   A video of a  teenager threatening to assassinate Britain's Queen Elizabeth in “revenge for Jalianwala Bagh” has surfaced on social media platform Snapchat.

The video, shared on Snapchat and posted by The Sun, shows the man identified as Jaswant Singh Chail. He is wearing a dark hoodie and holding a crossbow. He addressed the camera with a distorted voice while delivering the chilling message.

The Sun reported that the armed officers pounced on him on Christmas Day morning when he was 500 metres from the Queen’s private apartments, inside the castle grounds. The boy was allegedly armed with a crossbow after scaling a spiked fence with a rope ladder.

The teenager was sectioned under the Mental Health Act after doctors pronounced him unfit to be dealt with over the break-in.

Jallianwala Bagh is a historic garden and ‘memorial of national importance’ close to the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar, Punjab, India, preserved in the memory of those wounded and killed in the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre that occurred on the site on the festival of Baisakhi, 13 April 1919. The 7-acre (28,000 m2) site houses a museum, gallery and several memorial structures.  It was renovated between 2019 and 2021.
