Police stops fan from chanting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ during World Cup clash

Indian police interrupted fans at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru during Pakistan's World Cup match against Australia when they began chanting 'Pakistan Zindabad.'

The incident, captured on video by influencer Momin Saqib, showed law enforcement intervening to halt the chanting.

Saqib expressed his dismay, stating that it is both shocking and upsetting to witness people being prevented from expressing their support for Pakistan during a sports event.

“It's shocking and upsetting to see that people are being stopped from cheering "Pakistan Zindabad" at the game. This totally goes against what the sport is about,” Saqib wrote.
