New Delhi:  The girl named Amulya Leona who raised ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogan at an anti-CAA rally organized by AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday has been detained after she was charged with sedition. The girl’s father has condemned the incident. He was quoted by news agency ANI as saying: “What Amulya said is wrong. She was joined by some Muslims and wasn't listening to me." He was confronted by unidentified men who were standing around him while he made the statement. Police said that a case has been registered under Section 124A (Offence of sedition) of the Indian Penal Code against Amulya. The police will first interrogate her and then she will be produced before a court, officials said. As per reports, she was denied bail later and sent to three-day judicial custody; a local court will hear her bail petition on Monday. Also Watch: The incident led to commotion at the function of the AIMIM chief when the girl managed to reach the stage and started shouting slogans - 'Hindustan Zindabad' and 'Pakistan Zindabad.' She wanted to differentiate between 'Pakistan Zindabad' and 'Hindustan Zindabad' but organisers and cops on duty whisked her away. Owaisi himself rushed to take the mike from her. He was having a one-on-one with the public here. Owaisi said: "I condemn this statement. The woman is not associated with us. Humare Liye Bharat Zindabad Tha, Zindabad Rahega."
