Three Kashmiri students were arrested in Karnataka’s Hubballi district on Saturday for allegedly saying “Pakistan zindabad” in a video shared widely on social media, PTI reported. Scroll.in could not independently verify the video’s authenticity.
Hubballi Police Commissioner R Dileep said the three students of KLE Institute of Technology were arrested immediately after the college filed a complaint. He denied that a particular community or religion was being targetted. “We are investigating, and whatever comes out as per evidence, law and facts, we will take further action,” Dileep added. “We will look into their background, whether anyone has tried to mislead them.”
College Principal Basavaraj Anami alleged that the students shouted pro-Pakistan slogans to mark the first anniversary of the Pulwama terror attack on Friday. “It came to our notice in the morning, following which I called the students immediately to my office, and informed the police,” Anami told reporters. He added that the students would be suspended. Two of them are in a first-year engineering course, and the third is a second-year student, The Indian Express reported.
