A university in Uttar Pradesh has packed off 67 students from Kashmir to their homes for celebrating Pakistan's victory over India in a cricket match on Sunday.

A university in Uttar Pradesh has packed off 67 students from Kashmir to their homes for celebrating Pakistan's victory over India in a cricket match on Sunday.

Top officials have ordered an inquiry into the matter.

Vice-chancellor of Swami Vivekanand Subharti University (SVSU) Dr Manzoor Ahmad said "he was taken aback by such an unacceptable gesture of a few students" to media.

On Sunday night, a group of local and Kashmiri students were watching India-Pakistan cricket match in the hall of the varsity's Madan Dhingra Hostel.

Some Kashmiri students clapped every time an Indian player's wicket fell, and later celebrated the Pakistan win.

He said the authorities initially decided to suspend only those students who had shouted slogans.

"The students were suspended for creating a ruckus on campus and shouting pro-Pakistan slogans, which caused tension on the campus," said RK Garg, the university registrar to NDTV.

The varsity authorities were expecting the students to apologise. But when that did not happen leading to students suspension.

The authorities had reported the matter to the police after realising anger was brewing among the local students living in other hostels, which could escalate the tensions.

More than 200 girls and boys from different parts of Jammu and Kashmir are pursuing various courses in the university.

Stupid really, the lot of them, university and the students who celebrated. And no effigies either.

Lived in Hyderabad in a very partial to Pakistan locality. People there seemed to ignore it, celebrated more each time India won. Sedition charges a bit ott.

That said, would say that, if all reported is true, the Kashmiri students were being inflammatory. At least in my opinion, which is not worth much at all.

The problem is that they were eating bacon rashers and drinking whisky at the time. And they could at least have kept their underwear on.

And they were probably celebrating before it actually happened.

And Afridi was among them.
