The Indian flag spotted during the storming of the US Capitol building by supporters of US President Donald Trump on January 6, with the intention of overturning the presidential election result, had sent the Indian social media space into a state of frenzy.
Social media users spent the day looking for the person who carried the Indian tricolour to the pro-Trump gathering which culminated in violence and led to the death of at least four people. The incident happened on the day the joint session of US Congress had convened to certify Electoral College votes won by President-elect Joe Biden.
