New Delhi: Hundreds of employees working at Oppo India waving Indian flags in their hands on Tuesday protested outside the Noida office of the mobile phone company after a Chinese official allegedly tore the Indian Tri-Colour and threw it into a dustbin.
"The incident took place on Monday when the Chinese official tore off the national flag pasted on a wall of the company's Noida Sector 63 office and threw it into a dustbin", Gaurav Grover, Circle Officer, Noida said.
The flag was put up on the wall on January 26, when the company celebrated Republic Day.
Eyewitnesses said more than 200 police personnel were rushed to the spot to control the crowd. As news of the incident spread, residents of neighbouring colonies climbed on to their rooftops and waved the Indian flag in a show of support for the protesters.
The Phase-3 police registered a case against the Chinese official, who works as production manager in the company, on a complaint filed by some of the employees later.
“A case of disrespecting the Indian flag has been filed on the basis of the complaint by three company employees", Superintendent of Police, Gautam Budh Nagar, Dharmendra Singh said.
"Further probe in the case is underway. Necessary action will be taken after the probe is over", he said.
