Former Indian cricketer and World Cup-winner Yuvraj Singh has been booked under various sections of IPC over his ‘casteist remark’ during an Instagram live chat with Rohit Sharma in 2020.
The comment made by the 39-year-old cricketer was considered disrespectful to the Dalit community. Last year in June, Hansi-based lawyer and Dalit activist Rajat Kalsan filed the complaint at Hansi city police station for allegedly using a ‘casteist slur’ to refer to Yuzvendra Chahal. The incident took place in April 2020 during a live session with Rohit Sharma.
Nearly 8 months after a complaint was filed, Haryana Police has booked the 2011 World Cup-winner under sections 153, 153(a), 505, 295 of the IPC and also relevant sections of the SC/ST Act.
After facing the heat on the internet for his impolite comments, Yuvraj had apologised and said he has never believed in disparity.
“This is to clarify I have never believed in any kind of disparity, be it on the basis of caste, colour, creed or gender. I have given and continue to spend my life for the welfare of people. I believe in the dignity of life and respect each individual without exception,” Yuvraj said.
