As per local US channel named Diya TV, the consulate was set on fire  on Sunday morning.

Meanwhile, the Indian government has served demarche to Canada on the suspected planned protests by pro-Khalistan terrorist outfits outside the Indian High Commission in Ottawa, and two consulates in Toronto and Vancouver on July 8, media reports said.
