The Karnataka flag made headlines in recent times for many reasons. In December, a student was assaulted in Belagavi for allegedly raising the Karnataka flag at a college festival.

A few students immediately thrashed the student who raised the flag. The video was viral on the internet and many pro-Kannada organizations then demanded a probe into the matter.
