Kozhikode, Aug 31: Over 30 students from a college in Kozhikode district have been booked for allegedly waving a flag resembling that of Pakistan inside the campus premises, police said.
The incident took place on Thursday when students belonging to Muslim Students Front (MSF) were taking out a procession as part of the union elections inside the campus of the Perambra Silver College. The students allegedly waved a large 'Pakistan' flag.
The students have claimed that they were waiving the MSF flag but because of the larger size, it created confusion.
They have been booked under Sections 143, 147, 153 and 149 of the IPC.
Further investigation will be carried out to ascertain the identity of the students and necessary action will be taken, the police said.
The kidnapped schoolboy was rescued by the police and reunited with his parents. Son of a gift shop owner from Basavanagudi area in Bengaluru, Chirag has reportedly told police that decided to make some quick money to spend on cricket betting and gambling after learning kidnap tricks from the ‘Crime Patrol’. According to police, Chirag reached a private school around 3pm on Tuesday on a Bounce rental bike and zeroed in on a fourth standard student who was walking out of school. He told the boy he was his father's friend and that he required help to search for a relative who had gone missing. The boy believed Chirag and rode pillion on the bike. Chirag then engaged the boy in conversation and learnt about his father's business and got his mobile phone number. He then made a call to the boy's father, demanded Rs 5 lakh and warned him against approaching cops. However, the boy's father alerted Cottonpet police and special teams were formed to crack the case. While Cottonpet inspector Venkatesh TC's squad verified CCTV footage in and around the school, Chamarajpet inspector BG Kumaraswamy's team started tracking the suspect's mobile phone movements. An hour later, the suspect's location was traced to a hotel on the Lavelle Road-St Mark's Road stretch. Police rushed there, rescued the boy and arrested Chirag.

Some anti social element might have provide incorrect informatin to police regarding the Flag. Actually it is MSF party Flag and not Pak flag. Police should investigate the issue and in case the Flag is of Pak necesary action should be taken agaisnt the students and in case the informatin is wrong, the informer should be booked for wasting time of police and for wrong allegation on innocents.
