Bangalore: In Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka, a man named Umar Farooq found himself in legal trouble for an unusual and disrespectful act concerning the Indian national flag. Farooq resides in Sirsi city and, in an act that raised eyebrows and sparked outrage, hoisted a modified version of the Indian flag atop his house.

This altered flag was not the familiar tricolor but rather a distorted representation. It featured a green dome placed prominently at the center, entirely covering the Ashok Chakra, which is an integral part of the Indian national flag. Such a blatant and offensive alteration of the national symbol caught the attention of the public when images of Farooq's house with the modified flag started circulating on social media.

The local law enforcement authorities swiftly took action in response to this incident. A case was registered against Umar Farooq under IPC Section 2, which pertains to "Insult to the Indian National Flag." This legal action underscores the seriousness with which the Indian government and society view any attempt to disrespect or deface the national flag, a symbol of the nation's identity and pride.

The Superintendent of Police for Uttara Kannada stated that an FIR (First Information Report) had been lodged, and Farooq was promptly arrested. It is essential to uphold the dignity and sanctity of national symbols, and this incident serves as a reminder of the legal consequences that can result from their misuse or desecration. An investigation into the matter is currently underway to understand the motivations behind this act and any potential implications it may have.
