On Augusts 15, when India was celebrating its 74th Independence Day, a group of Pakistanis and pro-Khalistan people organised a rally in Germany's Frankfurt. Participants of the rally were shouting slogans against India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Pro-Khalistan slogans were also raised. During the rally, Prashant Vengurlekar stood one side of the street with the tricolour in support of India.
Prashant Vengurlekar shared a video of the rally which also showed the participants charging at him for supporting India. The video showed that people in the rally were passing from an area in Frankfurt. While recording video of the rally, Prashant showed India's national flag to them without saying anything. When people in the rally noticed him with the tricolour, they hurled abuses and charged at him.
