"Orders have been issued to start random checking of cell phones. If anyone is found carrying the Osama video, he will be charged with sedition," Senior Superintendent of Police Prabhat C Meena said. "We are baffled at the origin of this Osama clip and are trying to locate its source."
The videos shows militants riding on a tank and firing into the air, followed by pictures of Osama bin Laden firing a gun and motivating his followers to take part in a jihad. They end with pictures of the September 11 attacks accompanied by the message: "Thousands killed, Al Qaeda strikes."
