Four arrested for hoisting Pakistani flag over 'dargah'

Four persons have been arrested for allegedly hoisting a Pakistani flag over a shrine in Umreth town of the district in Gujarat here today.

Two Pakistani flags were seen tied to a neem tree above a 'dargah' by locals, who informed the police.

According to police, a complaint has been filed against five persons including two 'trustees' and three workers of the shrine for promoting enmity between different groups under IPC 153A.

Four people including one trustee of the shrine have been arrested, while another trustee has not been arrested due to poor health, the police said.

On preliminary investigation it was found that the flag was similar to Pakistan's national flag but not an original one as it was printed on only on one side, the police said.
