After videos showed them ‘celebrating’ Pakistan’s victory in cricket match
The J&K police on Tuesday lodged two First Information Reports (FIRs) under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) a day after multiple videos allegedly showed students of two medical colleges in Srinagar celebrating the Pakistan cricket team’s victory over India in the T20 World Cup on Sunday.
“Two FIRs have been lodged and investigations are on,” a senior police officer told The Hindu.
Multiple videos, including those of medical students, went viral on social media on Sunday night, immediately after the Pakistan Team won the match in Dubai. In a few videos, students were seen cheering and raising slogans. The videos evoked sharp reactions on social media, with demands for action against these students.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
