A contractual worker from Indore was arrested late Thursday night after a video surfaced online allegedly showing him chanting pro-Pakistan slogans.
The incident occurred in the Gandhi Nagar area. Police registered a case based on a complaint from the Karni Sena, whose members tracked the man down and thrashed him before handing him over to the police.
The arrested man was identified as Mohammad Javed. In the video, Javed and two others are seen in a kitchen, one chopping watermelon while another shouts the pro-Pakistan slogans.
The footage quickly went viral on social media, following which members of the local Karni Sena unit tracked down the man and slapped him multiple times.
Police arrested Javed and launched a search for the other individuals seen in the video. A senior police officer said, “We are on the lookout for the other accused in the case. The arrested accused had three identity cards. He has two Aadhaar cards in his name and we are investigating how he got them.”
