The Kerala Police have registered a case against a student from a college in Muvattupuzha town near Kochi for allegedly insulting the national anthem.

The police booked the case after a video showed the student, Aslam Salem, laughing and moving around while the national anthem was being played, The Hindu reported on Friday. The police booked him under provisions of the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971.

“The video came to our notice and after ascertaining the veracity, we placed him under suspension,” Principal TM Joseph said. “The college won’t tolerate such acts and will dismiss him if it is proven beyond doubt that he disrespected national anthem.”

Some unconfirmed local reports claimed Salem is a Students’ Federation of India leader.
