Similar incident occured in Pakistan last year. A Virat Kohli fan, Umar Diraz, was arrested cheering for India and raising an Indian flag over the top of his house. The locals were not pleased by his antics and immediately informed the police who arrested him. Upon inspection, it was revealed that he turned out to be a Kohli fan and had posters of the Indian Test skipper all over his residence.
