Umar Draz, from Okara in Punjab, was charged under the Pakistan Penal Code, which is reserved for crimes considered contravening Pakistan’s sovereignty and carrying a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.

Police said they received information on Monday that Draz had hoisted the Indian flag. He went on the run, but police managed to find him on Tuesday.

“It’s illegal to hoist the flag of another country,” police officer Ismail Khan said. “Yesterday he was presented before a local court and sent to jail” while he awaits trial.

The detained man told the media that he is a fan of Kohli, who secured India’s victory in the Twenty20 International against Australia this week.

Police confirmed that Draz had photographs of the cricketer all over his house.
