Pro-Isis terrorists slogans and threats of an imminent terror attack have been daubed on a statue of Mahatma Gandhi in a small village in north-western India.

The incident took place in the small village of Dudu, which is near Jaipur in the state of Rajasthan.

The statue was scribbled with pro-ISIS phrases including “ISIS zindabad,” which translates to “long live ISIS.”

The CNN bureau in India tweeted that security teams have been deployed in the area following the vandalism, suggesting that the matter is being taken seriously by officials.

Indian local media described locals as being tense and angry over the incident, adding that they are demanding the police do everything possible to find and arrest those who were responsible.

The incident is being taken seriously by Indian officials and “that security teams have been deployed in the area following the vandalism.”

The graffiti and its warning of an imminent attack come as widespread celebrations are predicted throughout India to celebrate Republic Day.

Republic Day is the day when the Constitution of India came into force on January 26, 1950 after centuries of British colonial rule. Gandhi was the leader of the Indian independence movement, Independent reported.
