Three people have been arrested for raising ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans in the Vidhana Soudha corridor on February 27, police said on Monday.

 

Supporters of Congress leader Syed Naseer Hussain allegedly shouted pro-Pakistan slogans after his victory in the Rajya Sabha elections.

 

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah ordered an investigation by a government-run Forensic Science Laboratory to check the veracity of the allegations.

Based on the FSL report, the police arrested three persons.

 

Police sources said one of the accused hails from RT Nagar in Bengaluru, the second one from Byadagi in Haveri district and the third accused is from Delhi.

The accused from Byadagi is said to be a chilli merchant.

 

Karnataka’s Home Minister G Parameshwara had alleged that the pro-Pakistan slogans were raised by supporters of Congress leader Syed Naseer Hussain following his victory in the Rajya Sabha polls.

 

The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has Congress supporters of chanting pro-Pakistan slogans during celebrations, a claim supported by purported videos circulating on social media and television news channels.
