Madhya Pradesh police have dropped the charge of sedition against the 15 men it arrested for allegedly celebrating Pakistan&#39;s win over India in the finals of the Champions Trophy.&nbsp;

It has now charged them with &quot;doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony&quot; or section 153A.&nbsp;

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s difficult to prove the sedition charge. Moreover, none of them has a criminal background. After initial investigation we found Section 153-A is more appropriate instead of Section 124-A,&rsquo;&rsquo; Burhanpur SP RR Parihar told The Indian Express.

ANI reported the sedition charge was dropped on the orders of senior officials.&nbsp;

The charge would, in any case, not have stuck -- the Supreme Court has said a person cannot be charged with sedition if he or she has not incited violence.&nbsp;

The Express reported that most of the men arrested in MP were daily wagers, while a few owned one or two acres of land.&nbsp;
