Virat Kohli fan arrested for raising Indian flag

A die hard Virat Kohli fan was arrested at his home in Punjab, Pakistan for hoisting an Indian flag on top of his house.

Upon receiving a complaint from his neighbors, the police stormed the house of Umar Draz, eventually arresting him and removing the flag. Draz, a resident of the Okara district, approximately 200 Km from Lahore was imprisoned in the local jail.

The arresting officer, Muhammad Jamil’s statement read, “We raided the house of Umar Draz and seized the Indian flag from his rooftop.”

Draz was tried on the same day in the local court and was also eventually remanded into police custody following the trial. Upon being presented to the media, Draz went on to state, “I am a big fan of Virat Kohli. I support the Indian team because of Kohli. Hoisting of Indian flag on the rooftop of house only shows my love for the Indian cricketer.”

Umar Draz, who happens to be a super fan of the Indian test captain tried his level best to reason with the arresting officer stating that he shouldn’t be viewed as a spy and as a fan of the Indian cricket team. Posters of Virat Kohli too were found pasted along the walls of his house. Draz also went on to mention that he didn’t realize that he had committed a crime and the hoisting of the Indian flag was to show appreciation to one of India’s best batsmen.

Virat Kohli picked up the man of the match award in India’s first T20I win of 2016. Kohli went on to score a match-winning knock of 90, consuming just 55 deliveries.
