     “They continued to beat us for around an hour and made our videos in naked condition,” the complainant said in FIR, as reported by Dawn.

    “The suspects committed gross injustice by stripping us, dragging us through the market and torturing us and strict action should be taken against them,” the complaint’s statement read in the FIR.

    VIDEO: Plane with ‘Free Kashmir’ banner flies over UK football stadium

    A plane carrying a “Free Kashmir, 2,500 days occupied” banner was seen during a football match in Manchester, leaving spectators surprised.

    The plane crossed the stadium during the Crystal Palace vs Manchester United match, which was taking place at the Old Trafford — a football stadium in Trafford, Greater Manchester, England.

    It is still not known as to who was flying the plane and why it carried the banner on Sunday.

    This was not the first time that such an incident has happened. Back in 2019, an aircraft towing a banner reading “Justice for Kashmir” had flown over the venue of the Cricket World Cup match between India and Sri Lanka at Headingley in Leeds, England. 

    Following the incident, the Old Trafford stadium — which was to host India’s semifinal clash against New Zealand — was declared a “No Fly Zone” by the local authorities, the Indian Express reported.
