Arrest After Palestinian Flag Waved During Muharram in Jharkhand

In Jharkhand's Dumka district, a 28-year-old man has been arrested by police for allegedly waving a Palestinian flag during a Muharram procession.

Authorities detained another individual linked to the incident as they continue their investigation after viral videos surfaced showing youths holding Palestinian flags.

Police confirmed the arrest via a statement, with further comments from officers emphasizing an ongoing probe. The event was politicized by local BJP leaders who criticized the state's government for what they claimed to be 'Muslim appeasement' policies.
