A case of sedition has been registered against a minor college student from Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, studying in Madhya Pradesh's Neemuch city under a scholarship scheme, for allegedly posting an 'objectionable' video regarding the 2019 Pulwama suicide attack.

In the video, shared by the student on WhatsApp and Instagram and which has also surfaced on other social media platforms, he has allegedly termed the Pulwama attack, in which 40 Indian personnel were killed on February 14, 2019, as "an act of revenge for the Babri demolition and some other incidents", Indian officials said.

The in-charge principal of the Neemuch-based Swami Vivekanand Government College , where the student is enrolled as a bachelor in commerce, on Monday came across the objectionable video, which was seen by other pupils as well, and approached the police, Superintendent of Police (SP) Suraj Kumar Verma said.

After taking cognizance of the matter, the Neemuch City Police Station in-charge seized the student's mobile phone and other equipment and they are being examined for any other objectionable contents, he said.

The student is aged below 18 and action is being taken as per law after registering the case under relevant Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections, the SP said.

The police have registered an FIR against the student under 124A (sedition), 153A (promoting enmity between different groups) and other relevant provisions of the IPC.

College in-charge principal VK Jain said the student, who hails from Jammu and Kashmir, has been admitted in BCom First Year under a special scholarship scheme.

Senior officials of the state Higher Education Department and the district collector were also apprised about the issue, Jain said. He said there was no tension in the college.
