MANGALURU: Two students were arrested for posting pro-Pak slogans on Whatsapp during the India-Pakistan cricket match held on March 19. In Puttur town, Mangaluru, one of the kids of a local college posted 'Pakistan Ki Jai' on a group chat, to which his classmates objected. The debate heated up as some objected to the post while others supported it. Police said they took two college students into custody when the incident was brought to their notice, and released them later on a 'good conduct' bond. They, however, said prima facie they were mere comments with no hints of sedition.
