A video of a young man working as an electrician in Pune shouting "Pakistan zindabad" slogans has gone viral, leading to his arrest late Sunday night. The clip sparked outrage and protests by local groups, following which police registered a case and took the accused into custody. 

Video shows man repeatedly raising slogans

In the viral video, the man is seen repeatedly chanting “Pakistan zindabad” in Marathi, and during the exchange, he is also heard saying that he would not chant “Pakistan murdabad".

The person recording the video is heard using abusive language against Pakistan and repeatedly asks the accused to chant “Pakistan murdabad".

However, the man refuses and continues to insist that he will only say “Pakistan zindabad", telling the person filming the video, “Do whatever you want.”

After the video began circulating online, Hindu organisations demanded strict action against the accused, as members of these groups later gathered outside the Parvati police station in Pune on Sunday night, staging a protest and calling for his arrest.
