Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association: Tiger Robi, a Bangladeshi supporter who was allegedly beaten and heckled in the second Test match between India and Bangladesh, is said to be fine and was taken to hospital for a checkup, confirmed UP Police.

Robi, a fan from Dhaka, was allegedly beaten and heckled by spectators at Green Park Stadium and was taken to the Regency Hospital by the police.

According to a statement by a police official at the stadium, Robi had been feeling unwell before arriving and fainted due to the heat in the unauthorised C-upper stand, which had been closed by the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) over structural concerns. "He is fine now, and we took him to Regency Hospital for a check-up. There was no assault, just a case of heat exhaustion," the police official said.
