On January 1, 2026, Mira Bhayandar Vasai Virar (MBVV) Police in Maharashtra’s Palghar district arrested 25-year-old barber Abdul Rehman Shah, originally from Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh, at his Ruhann Hair Cutting Salon in Chinchoti’s Karamdpada area opposite Durga Mata Mandir. Sub-Inspector Pankaj Kilje, on patrol around 1:30 PM, heard Shah blaring the provocative song “Kashmir Banega Pakistan”—linked to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations—via YouTube on loudspeaker, despite prior local warnings. Charged under Section 197(1)(d) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for circulating content threatening India’s sovereignty, Shah was remanded to police custody on January 3 after court appearance, with investigations probing intent and sources. From an Indian strategic lens, this swift action near a temple highlights vigilant enforcement against Pakistan-sponsored separatism, bolstering national security and communal harmony amid ongoing Kashmir tensions.
