TV channels showed the green flag with the moon and crescent hoisted at the house of one Anwarul Haque in Kharadi colony. Nalanda is the home district of CM Nitish Kumar
On seeing the video grab, Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) Sudhir Kumar and DSP Mohammad Saifur Rahman rushed to the spot and seized the flag from family members. The family had removed the flag before officials reached. Later, the officials took the flag with them.
