Guwahati:
Assamese musician Zubeen Garg has got himself embroiled in a controversy for allegedly disrespecting the national flag.
NGO Sahai president Raju Mahanta filed an FIR in Morigaon against the musician for hoisting the tricolour at his house at Guwahati's Kharghuli area, dressed informally and thereby insulting the flag, police said.
Mr Garg uploaded a photograph on his Facebook account showing him unfurling the tricolour on August 15 at his residence wearing casuals:
"We have registered a case against the singer," a police official said.
Mr Garg, however, was not available for comment.
In April this year, he had stirred a controversy while performing at a function in Guwahati's Khanapara area, when he wielded a gun and threatened to shoot if the audience leave the show.
Police rushed to the event immediately after being informed, but only to find a toy pistol with the musician.
