A Kashmiri student of a private college in Udaipur was detained for allegedly posting “anti-national” comments on Facebook after the Uri attack, reports said on Wednesday.
Mudasir Rashid, a Srinagar resident, has been suspended by his college Techno India NJR Institute of Technology.
He has been detained for allegedly posting and sharing anti-national comments and material on Facebook, reports quoting sub-inspector Hiran Magri police station Gordhan Ram said.
ABVP activists along with local students staged a protest at the college and demanded action against the accused. They also damaged college property and hoisted the national flag atop a building, Ram added.
Puran Singh, Udaipur unit ‘sangathan mantri’ of ABVP, justified the vandalism saying that they “tried to speak with the college administration but there was no response”. He added that Rashid should “not only be expelled from college but also from the country”, reports said.
“Rashid has been suspended initially for seven days,” reports quoting sources said.
15 Kashmiri students are undergoing education in the college.
