Bharatpur Royal Family Dispute Over Palace Flags
There's a disagreement in Bharatpur's royal family over which flag should fly at their palace.
One is colorful, the other has a picture of Hanuman.
Some people, seemingly supporting one of the flags, drove onto the palace grounds and tried to put it up, causing damage.
The current royal, Anirudh Singh, wants to keep the original flag, while others in the community want the Hanuman flag.
This has led to protests and the police getting involved.
The situation is complicated by a family dispute between Anirudh and his father, who may support the other flag.
A dispute over two flags, both associated with the former royals, has divided the Jat community.
Three men attempted to hoist a flag at Moti Mahal, resulting in vandalism and a police complaint.
The flag dispute is linked to an ongoing feud between Anirudh Singh and his father, Vishvendra Singh.
Vishvendra Singh appears to support the flag the others tried to hoist and has condemned the police action.
The administration is monitoring the situation with heightened security at the palace.
