A medical college in Jammu’s Rajouri district on Thursday fired an employee for allegedly celebrating Pakistan’s drubbing of India in the T20 World Cup match on Sunday.

An order issued on Thursday by Government Medical College (Rajouri) principal Brij Mohan said he had terminated the services of an operation theatre technician over a WhatsApp status where she had apparently celebrated Pakistan’s victory.

The principal said Safiya Majeed had been hired on an academic arrangement basis, which is a temporary appointment.

“Whereas a viral video has come to the notice of undersigned from different media platforms and also from DySP (deputy SP, headquarters, Rajouri) who sent the same via WhatsApp in which Miss Safiya Majeed, OT technician,… seems to have posted her WhatsApp status showing celebration of defeat of the Indian cricket team against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2021, the activity which seems to be disloyalty towards nation,” the order reads.
