Two more Kashmiri students have been arrested in Himachal Pradesh’s Solan district, police said Monday.
Pirzada Tawish Fayaz and Aakib Rasool were arrested Sunday night for alleged “anti-national” activities, Himachal Pradesh Police spokesperson Khushhal Sharma said.
They were studying at the Dr Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry in Nauni of Solan district.
Sharma said that they were arrested on the basis of a complaint that Fayaz had posted anti-national comments on his Facebook page. The complainant further alleged that both Fayaz and Rasool were involved in anti-national activities and were “supporting Pakistan in India’s fight against terrorism”, the SP added.
Subsequently, they were arrested and an FIR under IPC sections 153 B (imputations, assertions prejudicial to national-integration) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) was registered against them.
Earlier, Tahseen Gul, who was studying at Chitkara University in Baddi town and hails from Srinagar, was arrested Saturday for making “anti-national” remarks on Instagram.
