India drops sedition charges against 'Pakistan cricket fans'

Indian police have dropped sedition charges against 15 Muslim men arrested for allegedly shouting "anti‑India and pro‑Pakistan" slogans during the Champions Trophy cricket final.

The men have been charged with "disturbing communal harmony" instead.

They were arrested after their Hindu neighbours complained they had burst firecrackers during the game, which saw Pakistan beat India by 180 runs.
