A video from Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, has gone viral showing two men chanting “Hindustan Zindabad” and “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” while limping. The two, identified as Irfan and Javed, were reportedly arrested by the UP Police for posting pro-Pakistan content on Instagram.
The incident allegedly took place at Bithri Police Station, where the duo was detained after their posts triggered concerns about communal harmony. In the video, both men appear injured and are seen repeatedly chanting patriotic slogans, reportedly as part of an apology.
Posts Carried Threatening Messages and Support for Pakistan
According to the police, Javed and Irfan, residents of Saidpur Lashkariganj, posted disturbing videos on social media. One of the posts said, “There won’t be as many policemen in the police stations as there are informers in my area,” while another read, “There’s some silence now, but noise will follow… the barking dogs, I’ll cut off their tongues.” The posts also showed open support for Pakistan, which led to public outrage.
