The arrests took place in the northeastern state of Assam, where Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said “81 anti-nationals are now behind bars for sympathising with Pak”.
One of the persons was arrested after he posted a Pakistani flag on his Instagram, Assam police told AFP.
There has been a wider clampdown on social media since an April 22 attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir, the deadliest on civilians in the contested Muslim-majority territory in decades.

Sarma is also pushing efforts to stem the contentious issue of illegal immigration.
