Yuvraj Singh previously apologised for “unintentional remarks” and claimed he was “misunderstood” as a result of his June 2020 Instagram live video with ex-teammate Rohit Sharma.
Former cricketer Yuvraj Singh was detained briefly and then released on bail in Haryana on Saturday as part of an investigation into a complaint that he used a casteist insult against cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal in an Instagram live video. This was confirmed by Chandigarh police.
His June 2020 Instagram live video with ex-teammate Rohit Sharma, which included comments on leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, was widely shared and outraged; the 39-year-old previously apologised for the “unintentional remarks” and claimed he had been “misunderstood.” Mr Chahal’s TikTok videos drew criticism from Yuvraj Singh and Rohit Sharma.
According to officials in Haryana’s Hansi district, Yuvraj Singh was arrested on Friday, but he was released on interim bail the day before due to court orders.
According to reports, he was accompanied by four to five people, including his security personnel from Chandigarh.
In February of this year, an activist for the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in Haryana filed a complaint, demanding his arrest and the filing of a case under the Act, which seeks to prohibit discrimination. As directed by the court, a First Information Report, or FIR, was filed in the case.
According to actor Rajat Kalsan, the police were asked to investigate Yuvraj Singh on October 6. According to reports, Yuvraj Singh was interrogated for two to three hours after surrendering to police in Hisar before being arrested. He was later released after posting bail.
The police report would have been submitted to the Hisar Special Court by then, and Yuvraj Singh would have had to apply for regular bail. He’ll have to attend the hearings in Hisar in person. We will do everything in our power to prove this man’s guilt because he insulted the entire community.
“Additionally, because the bail was granted under the SC/ST Act, we are contesting it in the Supreme Court, and hopefully you will see him behind bars,” Mr Kalsan concluded.
Mr Singh apologised on his official Twitter account last year for “unintentionally hurting anybody’s sentiments or feelings,” adding that his “love for India and all its people is eternal.”
I was misunderstood in a conversation with my friends, which was unjustified.
” My heartfelt apologies go out to anyone who has been offended by my unintentional insensitivity.” As an Indian, I take this duty very seriously. In the statement, he expressed his undying love for India and its people.
