As many as 62 people, including a newly elected panchayat samiti member, have been booked for allegedly raising pro-Pakistan slogans at a panchayat poll victory procession in Jharkhand’s Hazaribag district, a senior police officer said on Sunday.
A video clip of the procession outside Bazar Samiti, where several people were heard shouting 'Pakistan Zindabad', went viral on social media, following which the police swung into action and registered a case in the matter, Hazaribag Superintendent of Police (SP) Manoj Ratan Chothe said.
No arrest has been made so far as the police are still verifying the authenticity of the clip, Mr. Chothe explained.
