Meerut (UP), June 22

A police complaint has been lodged against some Kashmiri students at a dental college here for allegedly shouting pro-Pakistan slogans and uploading objectionable picture of the Indian cricket team on social media after the ICC Champions Trophy final.

Two complaints have been received, one by students of Kalka Dental College and Hospital and the other by Bajrang Dal activists, the police said.

The right wing activists have demanded the arrest of the students, the police said, adding that a probe had been launched.

The administration of the college, located in the Partapur area, said a committee had been constituted to probe the incident.

Meanwhile, some Kashmiri students, including girls, were reported to have left the hostel.

“After India’s defeat in the Champions Trophy final, some Kashmiri students are alleged to have raised pro-Pakistan and anti-India slogans,” Anand Kumar, ADGP, Meerut Zone, told.

The police are taking the matter seriously, the ADG said, adding that they along with the local investigation unit were working on the case.

As of now, a case has been registered by the police and further action would be taken only after initial inquiry.

The principal of the college told the press that a committee has been formed to probe the matter and if the students were found guilty, stern action would be taken against them.

The college has around 60 students from Jammu and Kashmir. — PTI
