A photo of an Indian citizen allegedly desecrating the tricolour by placing it on the ground and standing upon it has gone viral on WhatsApp. 

The photo is accompanied by a caption in Kannada that reads, “If you are a child of India then take a second out to share this image”. 

The photo has been shared with the same caption at least since 2018. 

Alt News ran a check and found the man standing on the tricolour was identified as Sarfraz Bugti, a Pakistani politician who has served as the Provincial Minister of Home & Tribal Affairs.
