India all-rounder Hardik Pandya is facing legal trouble after a lawyer from Pune accused him of disrespecting the Indian national flag while celebrating India’s victory in the 2026 T20 World Cup.

The complainant, Wajid Khan, has asked the police to file an FIR over the alleged incident. He claimed that Hardik Pandya wrapped the Indian national flag around himself while celebrating on the field with his girlfriend Mahieka Sharma after India defeated New Zealand national cricket team by 96 runs in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium. He also pointed out that the cricketer was lying with Mahieka while wearing the national flag.

Complaint Filed Against Hardik Pandya Over National Flag Disrespect Allegation

Speaking to ANI, Khan said the act was disrespectful to the national flag and added that he filed a complaint at the Shivaji Nagar Police Station in Pune against Hardik Pandya. "You must have seen the T20 World Cup here. Hardik Pandya was dancing with his girlfriend in celebration of his victory. The national flag was tied to his back.

"According to Section 2 of the 1971 National Flag Act, we should respect the dignity of the national flag. However, Hardik Pandya was so lost in the celebration of his victory that he was lying with his girlfriend, wearing the national flag. I believe it is an insult to the national flag," Wajid said.

"I have filed a complaint with the Shivaji Nagar police station. When I went to file the complaint, they told me the incident occurred there, not here. So I told them that the national flag is a symbol of the entire nation, and we can file a complaint with the Shivaji Nagar police. They have accepted my complaint and provided me with a copy. Let's see what happens next. I have filed the complaint," he added.
