In a similar instance, Aligarh Muslim University suspended one of its students for tweeting “highly objectionable comments on social media against our martyr soldiers” in the aftermath of the Pulwama attack. The mathematics student had posted “How’s the Jaish? Great Sir #Kashmir” on Twitter. He has also been booked under Section 153A of the IPC and Section 67A of the IT Act.
