12 more people arrested by British Police involved in violence post India-Pakistan game

This year, India and Pakistan have played each other three times (twice in Men’s Asia Cup and once in the 20-20 World Cup). For the first time since 2013, both Asian giants played each other this many times. After all, both teams don’t play each other in bilateral cricket due to tense political relations. On the one hand, when India and Pakistan fans have shown sportsman spirit, the other hand saw fighting each other.

On August 28, the Asian neighbors played each other at the Dubai International Stadium. In the game, both sides fought well and in the end, the Men In Blue emerged victorious. After the game, violence among Indian and Pakistani fans erupted in Leicester. Tons of people were injured and some died in the violence. A little more than three months after the unfortunate incident, a total of 47 people have been arrested so far.

In a recent development, 12 more people have been arrested in this connection.
