Eight months after former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh apologised for his alleged ?unintentional casteist remarks during an Instagram live video, a FIR was lodged against him in Haryanas Hisar district on Sunday.

In June 2020, Advocate Rajat Kalsan had filed a complaint against the 39-year-old former Indian all-rounder at Hansi City Police Station in Hisar district.

 

According to the complaint, Singh, during an Instagram live video with ex-teammate Rohit Sharma had made an alleged casteist remark against leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.

 

The video was being broadcasted live in April, 2020, where Singh and Rohit Sharma were seen discussing Chahals TikTok videos.

 

The FIR was registered under Sections 153 (Wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot), 153 A (Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc.), 295 (Injuring or defiling place of worship with intent to insult the religion of any class) and 505 (Statements conducting public mischief) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Sections 3 (1) (r) and 3 (1) (s) of the SC/ST Act.

 

Singh, on June 5, 2020, had also posted an apology statement saying that he was misunderstood, while having a conversation with his friends.

 

This is to clarify that 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.

 

I understand that while I was having a conversation with my friends, I was misunderstood, which was unwarranted. However, as a responsible Indian I want to say that I have unintentionally hurt anybodys sentiments or feelings, I would like to express regret for the same.

 

My love for India and all its people is eternal, his statement read.
