AGRA: The Itmad-ud-Daula police in

Agra

arrested a drunk man after he allegedly raised

slogan.

Held under section 151 (preventive custody) of the CrPc, Akram (30) was having liquor along with his neighbour

in a Foundary Nagar based liquor store when the incident happened.

According to police, after attending a candle light march to pay homage to the slain CRPF jawans in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama, Ram Lakhan went to have liquor and met his neighbour. The two drunk neighbours engaged in a heated argument, after Akram allegedly raised ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogan.

Speaking to TOI, Kamlesh Kumar Singh, station house officer of Itmad-ud-daula, said, “A complaint was lodged by Ram Lakhan who accused Akram of shouting provocative pro-Pakistan slogan, though no concrete evidence was found against Akram.”

He said, “The two neighbours were heavily drunk. During questioning with Akram he claimed that Ram Lakhan had challenged him to raise anti-Pakistan slogan, on which he shouted, Hindustan Zindabad and Pakistan also Zindabad.”

The incident took place on Saturday late night. On Sunday, Akram was booked under CrPc 151 and later given bail.
