Jammu and Kashmir Police have launched a preliminary inquiry after a video surfaced showing cricketer Furqan Ul Haq wearing a helmet with a Palestinian flag during a private tournament in Jammu. The inquiry aims to ascertain facts, intent, and potential linkages. The tournament organizers were also questioned. The action has drawn criticism from some political leaders, including Mehbooba Mufti and Salman Nizami, who questioned the probe, citing India's support for Palestine at the UN. Some reports suggest a right-wing ecosystem reacted to the display as anti-national.
