Former Indian Cricketers in trouble again after Sachin Tendulkar with Pandora Papers expose recently on tax exemption. This time it is Yuvraj Singh and the situation is more communal.
The Punjab & Haryana High Court has ordered the Haryana Police to release former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh on bail if he is arrested on joining the probe in the casteist remarks case. The Bench headed by Justice Amol Rattan Singh was hearing Yuvraj Singh’s plea seeking quashing of the FIR against him over his alleged casteist remark against his former teammate Yuzvendra Chahal during an Instagram chat last year.
Earlier in February, the Haryana Police charged the former Indian cricketer for making ‘objectionable remarks’ against a particular caste. The 2011 World Cup winner was booked under sections 153, 153(a), 505, 295 of the IPC and also relevant sections of the SC/ST Act. Yuvraj Singh has been booked by the Hansi police after an enquiry into the complaint registered last year which alleged that the former cricketer had used a casteist slur against Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal.
A complaint was lodged against Yuvraj Singh last year by a Dalit activist Rajan Kalsan for allegedly using a ‘casteist slur’ to refer to his former teammate Yuzvendra Chahal. Following the incident, the former India cricketer had faced severe flak on social media. The incident took place in April 2020 during a live session with current India vice-captain Rohit Sharma. The complaint registered in June had alleged that the cricketer’s remarks were intentional and degrades and defames the Dalit community.
