A husband from Uttar Pradesh has filed a lawsuit against his wife and in-laws for celebrating Pakistan’s victory in India.
An Indian citizen lodged a report on 24th October when Pakistan defeated India. His wife named Rabia Shamsi and his in-laws celebrated Pakistan’s victory with firecrackers and also posted WhatsApp statuses.
The police team said that the Indian cricket team was mocked and an FIR has been registered against it. According to the FIR, the couple separated immediately after the marriage. The wife lives with her family. Earlier, the wife had also filed a dowry case against her husband.
It should be noted that this is not the first incident of Muslims being discriminated against in India after the Pak-India match. Earlier, a Muslim female teacher teaching in a private school in India’s Rajasthan was fired for expressing her happiness over the victory of the Pakistani team. Muhammad Shami, a Muslim player of the Indian team, was also called a traitor and a spy, and a social media campaign was launched against him recently just after the match.
