He said Daraz committed a mistake without knowing its implications.
"This is not a case in which someone hoisting the flag any country for its love. During Football World Cup matches people here used to hoist Brazil and Argentina flags and no body minds it because the gesture is seen in a sports perspective. This is a similar case," he argued.
He said he had no idea that he committed a crime, urging the authorities concerned to pardon him as he should be seen as "an Indian cricketer's fan and not a spy".
Poster size photographs of Kohli were also found pasted at the walls of his house.
The police seized the flag and Kohli posters and pictures.
Some civil society activists and journalists have raised voice for his release terming his gesture purely that of a sports' lover.
