Fan In Pakistan Dragged By The Collar At Champions Trophy 2025? Internet Abuzz With 'Indian Flag' Angle

The Champions Trophy 2025 is being hosted by Pakistan, marking it the first time that the nation is hosting a major ICC event in nearly three decades. However, a big talking point has now risen due to certain emerging visuals. A video of a fan being escorted outside a stadium by security has gone viral on social media. The viral video shows a man in black attire being dragged by the collar by security personnel. The same group of men can also be seen taking away an Indian flag from another fan in the stands. While it is unclear which stadium it exactly is, posts on the internet have suggested that the event took place inside the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, during the match between Australia and England at the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025.

Many social media accounts pointed out that the fan was carrying an Indian flag. However, the video which has gone viral shows another man carrying the Indian flag.

Australia and England flags can be seen being flown in the video, further suggesting that it could very well be that very match where the incident took place. NDTV can't confirm the authenticity of the video or whether it is indeed from the Champions Trophy in Pakistan or not. This copy will be updated if and when there is an official response regarding the same.

If this were to be true, the incident would have occurred just one day prior to the Champions Trophy match between India and Pakistan.
