Hansi: A complaint has been made to Hansi SP Lokendra Singh, seeking to register a case against former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh for his alleged remarks against Dalit society. The complaint has been lodged by Dalit rights activist and lawyer Rajat Kalsan.
In a live chat with Rohit Sharma, Singh has been accused of making derogatory remarks about the Dalit community.
Advocate Rajat Kalsan told that Yuvraj is heard in a conversation with cricketer Rohit Sharma making derogatory remark about the Dalit community in a video which has been going viral on social media since Monday.
Kalsan further said that he has lodged a complaint to Hansi SP in which he has demanded a case be registered against Yuvraj Singh for making comments on social media against the Dalit community of India. He said that this comment has been seen by the people of the entire Dalit community and that this comment has hurt the sentiments of them.
Advocate Rajat Kalsan further warned that if no action is taken against Yuvraj Singh in this case, a big agitation would be organized in this regard.
Meanwhile, SP Lokendra Singh said that they have received the complaint and that the DSP has been entrusted with the investigation. He also said that once the investigation is completed, appropriate action will be taken in this regard.
Recently cricketers have kept themselves busy under the lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic by giving interviews to different publications and holding Instagram Live chats with other members of the cricketing fraternity.
In one such conversation with Team India’s deputy in-charge, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj ended up getting himself in trouble after he described spinner Yuzvendra Chahal with a word which is offensive to a certain Indian community.
"Ye b****i logon ko koi kaam nahi hai Yuzi ko... Yuzi ko dekha kaisa video daala (these people like Yuzi don't have anything to do... did you see what kind of video Yuzi shared)," Yuvraj was heard as saying during his live Instagram chat with Rohit.
"Maine usko woi bola ki apne baap ko nacha raha hai tu pagal to nahi hai (I asked him has he gone mad that he is making his father dance)," replied Rohit.
Social media users took note of this video and a short clip from the actual interaction between the duo went viral, with many asking for Yuvraj to apologise. The hashtag Yuvraj_Maafi_Maango (Yuvraj Singh apologise) also started trending on Twitter.
