Madikeri/Shivamogga, Jun 20: Tension prevailed for some time in remote areas of Kodagu and Shivamogga districts of Karnataka following the victory of Pakistan against India in the finals of the Champions Trophy.
Based on a complaint of Sangh Parivar activists, the Kodagu police have arrested four persons on charge of celebrating Pakistan’s victory. Riyaz, Samad, Munir and Jabir of Elane Hosakote are the arrested. Riyaz is the son of Elane Hosakote Gram Panchayat vice president Kunhi Kutti.
According to sources, a group of saffron activists thrashed the four before handing them over to police. The saffron activists claimed that the four youths came on their scooters and in a Maruti van, burst fire crackers and raised victory slogans at seventh Hosakote Junction around 10.30 p.m.
As the news spread, hundreds of Hindutva activists assembled in front of the police station on Monday morning and urged the police to file sedition case against the accused. BJP district president B B Bharatish, Vishwa Hindu Parishat district general secretary D Narasimha and others submitted a written complaint to the PSI in this regard.
When the saffron activists attempted to stage a protest at Kannada Circle, Kushalnagar DySP Sampat Kumar and Circle Inspector Kyate Gowda spoke to the protestors and promised to register an FIR under IPC Sections 153B and 295A.
Meanwhile, tension prevailed for a while at Melinakuruvalli near Thirthahalli in Shivamogga district on Monday, after a local youth reportedly posted congratulatory message to Pakistan.
Jabi Qureshi, a resident of Melinakuruvalli, reportedly posted a message on his Facebook wall that “we are champions”.

Cheering PAK against india is wrong. But Anyone can celebrate any team. There is no law.
@milan u sound like, terrorism is wrong, but anyone can be terrorists. there is no law. :P
shame on jihadist muslims who back stab our motherland , shameless beggars .kick them out of india or hack them .
How cheering for Pakistan Cricket Team is wrong? Can we then support England team when the British had ruled and looted India for 200 years? There are numerous England supporters in India but no one is against them! Can we support France in football when French had looted and invaded India? Why do Indians support Brazil or France or Germany in FIFA when Indian team is not playing in it? Indians only need to support Kabbadi instead... Come on guys, just keep aside your enemity atleast in sports.. Support whichever team you like..
They should not have celebrated Pak win openly...if at their home does not matter but not openly....their soldiers are killing our innocent soldiers....
Cheering for a team of enemy country, Celebrating the victory of enemy country against our own country is not at all justified. We all Indians should be ONE against such country in any activity. There is hard feeling or soft feeling PERIOD.
Are we going to celebrate victory of Bangladesh against India??? No one does that. Then, why Pakistan???
Some fools are celebrating pakistan victory and saffron b.fools are exaggerating it for political mileage
Its proved many times who z bloody anti nationalists , when rama sena hoisted pakistan flag in Sindagi, Mutalik gang s bomb blast in hubballi court , ABVP s Pakistan zindabad @ JNU and now one more allegation, grow up sangis this style bcom old
Soon after the match many of Indian team players wholeheartedly congratulated Pakistani team and shook hands with them. Are Indian team players also anti-nationals? Do they also face sedition case?
Good point Rajan Shetty. Keep commenting. Silence of nationalists will encourage anti-nationals.
These gandutva guys have a very little heart
Whole cricket team of india should be in jail including gavaskar and gambhir . They congratulated Pakistan and praised them...
Actually the fact is ...this is the result of Media propaganda by RSS since many years ......................they were taunting Muslim youths telling Pakistan which they have no connection and bond is real friend......then simply youths started to anger the Saffronists by supporting pakistan verbally ....but some youth still using the same tactic to anger RSS ...but Rss a anti national organization uses the same to polarize ...unlike RAMA SENE which hoisted Pakistan Flag in Sindhagi ...is out of the talk now ????????????
