The Jammu and Kashmir Police has registered two FIRs against the hostel warden, management and students of two medical colleges in Srinagar where students created a ruckus and raised derogatory anti-India slogans after they won the match against India in Dubai on Sunday.
Several videos from the Government Medical College (GMC) and Sher e Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) in Srinagar went viral, in which some students can be seen raising slogans against India and in praise of Pakistan. The commotion broke out when Home Minister Amit Shah was on his three-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir, the first since the abrogation of Article 370 from the erstwhile state.
