Dubai: A police complaint has been field against an Indian for wearing Pakistan’s jersey during the clash between the arch-rivals in Dubai on Sunday during the Asia Cup. However, the family members of the Indian, who is a businessman from Bareilly, have stated that the act of wearing Pakistan’s jersey was merely a prank.

“The matter has been brought to our notice but since the incident occurred outside the country, further action will be taken in accordance with directions from the government,” Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Bareilly Satyarth Aniruddha Pankaj told PTI yesterday.

The report added that the complaint was filed by an office-bearer, Himanshu Patel, of a right-wing group. The pictures of the Indian, identified as Sanyam Jaiswal, standing outside the stadium in Dubai had gone viral on social media and consequently angered a section of people back home.
