Pune, Mar 8 (PTI) A man was arrested after a video purportedly showing him saying “Pakistan Zindabad” during a conversation with a friend went viral, police said on Sunday.
The clip had prompted Hindutva outfits to stage a protest outside Parvati police station here, demanding that an FIR be registered against him.
The man has been identified as Aman Mulla, who is into electrical work and lives in Janta Vasahat in the Parvati Hill area.
In the purported video, Mulla is heard saying “Pakistan Zindabad” while doing electrical work in a new flat, despite objections from his friend Abhishek Mohol. The friend is also heard asking him to say “Hindustan Zindabad”, but Mulla refuses, as per the video.
“We have registered an offence against Aman Mulla under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and arrested him. We are probing the matter,” said senior inspector Rajendra Sahane from Parvati police station.
He added that police are trying to determine when this incident took place. PTI SPK NR
