The second Test match of the ongoing series between India and Bangladesh saw a disturbing incident unfold at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Tiger Robi, a Bangladeshi fan, was reportedly assaulted by fellow spectators, leaving him hospitalized. The incident has sparked controversy and raised concerns about fan behavior and security measures at the stadium.
According to reports, Robi was waving the Bangladeshi flag and chanting slogans from the C-block balcony when he allegedly got into an altercation with local fans. He claims to have been beaten up during lunch, suffering injuries to his back and abdomen. However, police officials deny these allegations and state that they are looking into the matter based on CCTV footage.
The police initially found Robi struggling to breathe near the C block entrance and suspect dehydration. However, Robi’s account of being physically attacked raises serious concerns about the safety of fans at the stadium. This incident highlights the need for stronger security measures and more effective crowd management to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all spectators.
The Indian cricket board and the Kanpur authorities should investigate this incident thoroughly and take appropriate action to prevent similar incidents in the future. The incident also raises questions about the conduct of some local fans who may have been involved in the assault. It is imperative to create a culture of sportsmanship and respect for all fans, regardless of their nationality or team allegiance.
