Indian state authorities razed to the ground a man's shop after he allegedly chanted "Pakistan Zindabad" slogans during the recent Pakistan vs India Champions Trophy clash.

News 18 reported that the scrap shop was demolished in Malvan, Maharashtra’s Sindhudurg district, after Shiv Sena lawmaker Nilesh Rane filed a complaint with the Malvan Municipal Corporation against the shop owner.

Rane, who is affiliated with the extremist right-wing party, thanked the authorities on social media for their prompt action on his complaint and also accompanied his post visuals of the demolition.

"In Malvan, a Muslim outsider scrap dealer, that is, yesterday after the India-Pakistan match, raised anti-India slogans," the Shiv Sena leader wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

"As action, we will definitely drive this outsider scoundrel out of the district, but before that, we immediately destroyed his scrap business. Thanks to the Malvan Municipal Council administration and police administration for taking prompt action."

The media outlet reported that the scrap dealer allegedly shouted "Pakistan Zindabad" after Pakistani fast bowler Shaheen Afridi dismissed Indian captain Rohit Sharma during the mega event.

As a result, the locals got into an argument with the man and later, the matter was taken to the police.

Pakistan suffered a six-wicket defeat at the hands of India, virtually ending their bid to move forward in the tournament. And when New Zealand defeated Bangladesh, Pakistan's campaign ended.
