New Delhi/Nagpur: Sometimes die-hard fans of musicians, sports etc do about anything for their idols. A Pakistan based die-hard fan of Indian batsman Virat Kohli was been arrested for hoisting the Indian Tri-colour on top of his home in Punjab Province to display his love for the cricketer.
The die-hard fan identified as Umar Draz, from Okara district of Punjab province, about 200 km from Lahore, was arrested on a complaint that he had hoisted the Indian flag on the rooftop of his house. However, when some official and neighbours noticed it, they complained to the police who raided his home on January 26, 2016.
According to the police official Muhammad Jamil, they raided the house of Umar Draz and seized the Indian flag from his rooftop.
He added that the police have arrested Draz and have registered a case under the ‘Maintenance of Public Order’. He was presented in court the same day and was remanded into police custody. Draz turned out to be a big fan of India’s Test Cricket team captain Virat Kohli.
