Court orders FIR against RLD MLA for ‘insulting’ Tricolour

The case is likely to be filed under the Prevention of Insult to National Honours Act, 1971, officials said.

“We are yet to receive the order. Once we get it in writing, necessary action will be taken. The video of the incident will be analysed and the case will proceed accordingly,” said a police official. On Independence Day last year, videos had surfaced in which the MLA from the Purqazi constituency was hoisting a flag upside down at a petrol pump in the area. Kumar later called it a mistake.
