'Pakistan Zindabad' slogans: Gopal Chahar, Arjun Girj booked in UP

Agra: Two individuals, along with unidentified other people, have been booked after a video of them raising Pakistan Zindabad slogans at a gathering in Shahganj area here went viral, police said on Monday.

The two persons have been identified as Gopal Chahar and Arjun Girj, they said, reported PTI.

Based on a complaint by local Congress leader Apoorv Sharma, the case was registered. The leader told PTI, "A tiranga yatra was taken out in the Shahganj area recently. In the video of the yatra that went viral on social media platforms, Pakistan Zindabad slogans could be heard. This act, which endangers the integrity and unity of India, has hurt my sentiments as well as the sentiments of all patriots. A complaint has been given to the police."

Assistant Commissioner of Police Mayank Tiwari said, "On Sunday night, a case was registered in Shahganj police station against two named persons and some unknown people under Section 152 (act endangering sovereignty, unity and integrity of India) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The viral video will be sent to the forensic lab for investigation. Further action will be taken after that."

Recently, a contractual worker from Indore, Mohammad Javed, was arrested late at night after a video allegedly showing him chanting pro-Pakistan slogans went viral online.

The incident took place in the Gandhi Nagar area. Police registered a case following a complaint from the Karni Sena, whose members located Javed, assaulted him, and then turned him over to the authorities.

Last week, Assam administration detained opposition AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam and charged him with provisions of the National Security Act (NSA) in Assam's Nagaon for allegedly defending Pakistan and its complicity in the Pahalgam terror attack.
