The Ashoknagar Police on Wednesday arrested a 29-year-old sound engineer for allegedly disrespecting the national anthem. According to the police, Jatin, a sound engineer had come to Bengaluru from Australia a week ago and had decided to watch the movie Avengers: Endgame. Jatin is a resident of Sanjayanagar and had gone to Australia as he was a part of a film crew that was shooting there. “On Tuesday night, Jatin had gone to watch the movie and when the national anthem played before the film began, Jatin did not stand up for it,” Ashoknagar Police told TNM. However, the man standing next to him, Suresh Kumar, took exception to Jatin’s behaviour and asked him to stand up. “It’s not mandatory to stand up when the national anthem is being played but it is wrong if the national anthem is disrespected. Jatin conveyed this to Suresh Kumar and that’s when an argument began,” the police said. Police say that Jatin and Suresh’s argument grew loud and the duo began hurling abuses at each other. “Suresh Kumar said that he would have let the argument pass if Jatin had only insulted him personally. According to his complaint, Jatin hurled expletives at the National Anthem,” the police added. Suresh Kumar and Jatin were told to leave the movie theatre as their argument was disturbing the other viewers. “Suresh Kumar came to the station and filed a complaint just past midnight on Wednesday. Jatin was arrested within minutes and he later obtained bail,” the Ashoknagar Police added. Jatin was booked under Prevention of Insult to National Honours Act. Ashoknagar police say that they are questioning the audience who were at the theatre the night Jatin and Suresh Kumar argued. “Currently, it's one person’s word against the other. We are talking to others present there and also the security guard who had asked Jatin and Suresh to leave,” the police added.
