A violent mob of Trump supporters attacked the US Capitol in an attempt to reject the results of the democratic US elections, where President-elect Joe Biden emerged victorious. Consequently, US President Donald Trump’s accounts were blocked by Twitter and Facebook.
Various photos and videos of the attack surfaced online. In one such photo, a person could be seen hoisting the Indian flag.
While the identity of the flag-bearer is not yet known, Twitterati wasted no time in talking about spotting the Indian flag in the midst of the violent, chaotic attack:

The one waving the Indian Flag at the US Capitol Siege must be dealt with utmost severity, for that stands against the ideals and laws that the people of India stand for. The @IndianEmbassyUS must take this very seriously. https://t.co/gkn6eYm9oH
