New Delhi, May 15
The Bengaluru police arrested a techie for allegedly shouting pro-Pakistan slogans from the balcony of his PG accommodation.
The accused was identified as Shubhanshu Shukla (26) from Chhattisgarh, was working in an IT company in the city.
The police stated that the incident took place around 12.30 am on May 9 in Prashanth Layout, when the nation was celebrating the success of 'Operation Sindoor'. The residents of a nearby PG were alarmed by the slogans and suspected a possible threat. A youth from a neighbouring PG recorded the incident on his phone and alerted police by dialling 112.
The police added that the video confirmed that Shukla had raised the slogans.
In another incident, a man named Nawaz was arrested by Bengaluru police for posting a video on Instagram in which he called for a bomb attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s house. The video, which went viral during heightened India-Pakistan tensions, questioned why Pakistan hadn’t bombed the Prime Minister’s residence.
The police have launched further investigations into the motive behind the post.
