The students have been booked under Section 13 of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and Sections 505 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code related to public mischief and criminal intimidation.
The case, lodged a day after the World Cup final, has been registered on the basis of a complaint by a student from outside Jammu and Kashmir. The seven students were arrested.
In the complaint, the student has named seven local Kashmiri students enrolled at the University’s Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry Department who allegedly “abused” and “threatened” him for supporting India.
