Noida, Mar 29 (IBNS): Around 2000 workers of mobile company Oppo demonstrated outside the company's Noida factory, demanding the arrest of a Chinese official for allegedly insulting the Indian flag, reports said.

Following the outcry, Noida police have lodged an FIR against the official.

Identified as Suhahu, the senior official was visiting the facility on Monday afternoon, when he tore apart the Indian flag and threw it into the bin.

As the news reached the workers, they protested the act, as slogans of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' were raised.

"The FIR has been lodged under The Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, the Times of India quoted a police official as saying.

Meanwhile, Oppo India released a statement, saying they regretted the incident.

"We at OPPO India are paying serious attention to this issue. We deeply regret this unfortunate incident and are extending all our co-operation to the concerned authorities and will take appropriate action. OPPO as a brand has deep respect for India and is strongly rooted as well as localized in the country and 99% of our employees are Indians,' the statement read.
