MP: 15 arrested for raising pro-Pak slogans, bursting crackers after Pakistan's win in ICC Champions trophy

At least 15 people were on Tuesday arrested from Madhya Pradesh's Burhanpur village for raising pro-Pak slogans after Pakistan's win in the ICC Champions trophy on June 18..

The arrested accused from Shahpur town allegedly celebrated Pakistan's win by bursting crackers.

Sanjay Pathak, station in-charge of Shahpur police station said the accused were arrested under section 124-A (Sedition). 

Pakistan won the first ICC title triumph since their 2009 World Twenty20 win but more importantly it broke the jinx of not performing against India in big ticket matches.

Earlier, widespread celebrations also erupted in Kashmir following Pakistan's win, with separatist leaders congratulating the neighbouring country for clinching the title.

Beating drums and singing songs, youths burst crackers and raised slogans in favour of Pakistan. Large processions of youths were witnessed in many parts of the city here and elsewhere in the Valley.
