Cricketer Yuvraj Singh was arrested and released on bail in an alleged casteist remarks case in compliance with a high court order, was informed by the Haryana Police.
According to the reports, Yuvraj Singh was accused of making casteist remarks against another cricketer during an Instagram chat last year. He came to Hansi on October 16 and the police made an arrest but later he was released on bail bond after a few hours.
Last week, the high court directed that upon joining the probe with the investigating officer, if the cricketer is arrested, he would be released on interim bail upon furnishing bail and surety bonds. The high court was listening to a plea by the cricketer seeking quashing of an FIR filed against him earlier this year under sections of the IPC and the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act based on a complaint by lawyer Rajat Kalsan at the Hansi Police Station in Hisar.
Last year, Kalsan filed a police complaint alleging that Singh’s comment had hurt the sentiments of the Dalit community and a large number of people had watched the video on social media.
