Pakistan vs Afghanistan: Police Officer Suspended after he did not let Spectators Enter the Stadium with the Indian flag
A sub-inspector of Tamil Nadu Police has been shunted out and a probe was initiated against him after he allegedly did not let spectators enter the Chennai cricket stadium with the Indian flag.
The move comes after a video went viral showing the police officer barring the entry of a few cricket fans to the MA Chidambaram Stadium ahead of the Pakistan-Afghanistan World Cup match on Monday (Oct 23).

Sometime later, some people were heard alleging that the police officer was the one who dumped the flag and started questioning him. Facing heat, he then takes the flag to his police vehicle.
“Enquiry has been initiated against the SI concerned deployed for bandobust duty at MAC Stadium. He was recalled to Control Room. Appropriate action as per law will be taken based on the findings,” the city police said in a statement on X.

Team Pakistan began their campaign with 2 wins on the bounce, which included a World Cup record chase against Sri Lanka in Hyderabad. However, their campaign hit a roadblock when they were hammered by India in Ahmedabad. Defeats to Australia and Afghanistan followed as Pakistan seem to have lost steam.
Pakistan have time to bounce back, but it’s not going to be easy as they have only stiffer tests from now on. Pakistan’s fate is not in their own hands anymore.
