Raigarh: A 52-year-old man was arrested for allegedly hoisting Pakistan’s national flag at his house in Chhattisgarh’s Sarangarh-Bhilaigarh district, an official said on Thursday.
The accused was identified as Mustaq Khan, a fruit vendor.
The incident came to light on Tuesday evening after police received a complaint that he had hoisted Pakistan’s flag atop his house in Atal Chowk area of Saria town, the official said.
A police team later removed the flag and seized it, he said.
