Man Arrested in Meerut for Waving Palestinian Flag During Independence Day Tiranga Rally

A man was arrested on Friday in Meerut’s Kotwali area for allegedly waving a Palestinian flag during a “Tiranga Rally” held on Independence Day, according to the police.

The incident occurred on August 15, the 78th Independence Day, when a video surfaced online showing the youth, later identified as Rashid alias Munna, waving the Palestinian flag during the rally. The act sparked anger among local Hindu leaders.

A district police spokesperson confirmed that a case was registered at the Kotwali Police Station under Section 197(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which deals with imputations or assertions prejudicial to national integration.

“The accused, Rashid alias Munna, a local resident, was arrested from in front of a complex near Purva Ahiran,” the officer stated. The police are continuing their investigation into the matter.
