India arrests 15 for cheering Pakistan's cricket win

Fifteen Muslim men have been arrested in the Central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh for shouting pro-Pakistan slogans. The men were reportedly celebrating India's loss against Pakistan in the finals of the Champions Trophy.

They have been booked for sedition and have been denied bail.

Activists in India often accuse governments of misusing the draconian sedition rule to stifle dissent of any kind.
