A complaint has been filed at Delhi's Kalkaji Police Station against Vincent Xavier, an Indian national who carried the Indian flag to the US Capitol protest.

The man who waved that flag, Vincent Xavier, says his intention was to prove that America is "not racist as it is portrayed to be" and embraces diversity.

"There is nothing to be ashamed of, we are celebrating our diversity. The world has to know that America is not the racist country it is portrayed as. That the Republican party is not white supremacist. If they were racist, they would not allow me to carry the Indian flag. It was actually showing more respect," said Vincent Xavier.

According to the reports, a person named Deepak Singh has filed a complaint against Vincent Xavier seeking action against him under sections of sedition. He also demanded action against Kerala-based engineer under UAPA and Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act.
