In a video that is being circulated on social media, Meerut SP City Akhilesh Singh can be seen telling local residents to ask protesters to go to Pakistan if they don't want to live in India. The officer defended himself by saying that some people were shouting pro-Pakistan slogans during the protest against the new citizenship law. 4 people had been killed during these protests on December 20. He also threatened the locals that if anything untoward happens in their area they will have to pay the price for it.
