No,

```
            if [db_user_details][i][country] == "india"

```

isn't valid Ruby (you need to use event.get()). Why use each\_index in the first place? Try this

```nohighlight
event.get('db_user_details').each do |item|
  if item['country'] == 'india'
    event.set('flagger', 'done')
  end
end

```
