Bengaluru, Nov 19, 2022: Two engineering students in Bengaluru have been booked for shouting ’Pakistan zindabad’ slogans at a college event. The incident took place at an inter-college fest at a private engineering college when students were chanting slogans of their favourite IPL cricket teams, police sources said.

 

At the same time, a boy and a girl, both minors, shouted ’Pakistan zindabad’ even as other students took objection and tried to stop them, following which they stopped.

Another student recorded the video and uploaded the same on Instagram. The video went viral and the college carried out an enquiry, took apology letters from the duo and suspended them.

A case has been registered under sections 153 (provocation with intent to cause riot) and 505(1)B (with intent to cause fear to the public) of the Indian Penal Code. The Karnataka Police has spoken to the parents of the two students and a further investigation is underway.
