Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh has landed himself in big trouble for his remarks during an Instagram Live chat with Rohit Sharma. Incidentally, the legendary cricketer is a facing a police arrest for his ‘bhangi’ remark on Yuzvendra Chahal.
Meanwhile, the conversation dates back to almost a month. In the wake of the lockdown, cricketers are chatting on social media giving fans a chance to know them better. Yuvraj had called Chahal ‘bhangi’ for his latest TikTok videos. While it was a light-hearted comment from Yuvraj Singh, hundreds of people seem to have taken the comment on offence.
Police case filed against Yuvraj Singh
Earlier this week, the users made the hashtag ‘Yuvraj Singh Alopogise’ in Hindi one of the top trends. The hashtag ‘#युवराज_सिंह_माफी_मांगो’ has so far seen more than 30,000 tweets with users demanding an apology.
And now, things have gone out of hands. As per reports in Zee News, a police case has been filed against Yuvraj Singh by Dalit rights activist and advocate Rajat Kalsan. He has lodged the diary in Hansi in Hisar, Haryana.
The main agenda of the activist-cum-lawyer is the fact that Yuvraj made anti-Dalit remarks. Kalsan has pointed out that that the former player’s comment has hurt the sentiment of the Dalit people in the society.
He went one step further to attack Rohit Sharma as well saying that the swashbuckling batsman should have stopped Yuvraj Singh. The matter is currently under investigation and any action will be taken only after reports come out.
