A man was arrested for allegedly posting a video supporting Pakistan on social media, a police official said on Monday.
Mohammad Sajid, a resident of Girdharpur village under the Deorania Police Station area of Bareilly district, was arrested for allegedly writing "Pakistan Zindabad" and posting its video on Facebook.
In the video, people could be seen celebrating and waving the Pakistani flag.
