Hisar:The Haryana Police arrested cricketer Yuvraj Singh on Sunday evening in a case against him for making derogatory remarks against Scheduled Castes. He was later released on interim bail as per the direction of Haryana and Punjab High Court.
Earlier, the court had granted anticipatory bail to the cricketer in the case, but also permitted the police to formally register his arrest. On Sunday, his arrest was registered after an interrogation. The police released Yuvraj on bail in view of his anticipatory bail.
Yuvraj allegedly made derogatory remarks about the Dalit community during a video interview with his former India and IPL teammate Rohit Sharma in April, 2020.
It was during one of the Instagram live sessions with Sharma that Singh made an offensive comment about cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, while talking about his regular social media posts.
