Chandigarh: Former cricketer Yuvraj Singh was briefly arrested by the Hansi police and he was released interim bail in a case of making caste reference to cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal during Instagram live video last year.
The case was registered against him under various sections of the IPC and the SC/ST Act on the complaint filed by Rajat Kalsan, a Hansi-based resident.
Hansi SP Nitika Gahlout said that Singh joined the investigation and he was arrested in the case. Later, he was released on interim bail. She said that the police had already recovered the phone of the cricketer.
In this matter, the 39-year-old had earlier apologised for the “unintentional remarks” saying that he was “misunderstood” during his June 2020 Instagram live video with ex-teammate Rohit Sharma and Chahal, was widely shared on social media, triggering outrage.
