New developments have taken place in the major controversy occured on day 1 of the second Test between India and Bangladesh at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. The Bangladeshi fan named 'Robi' has confessed that the crowd in UP did not beat him up.

The fans were criticised on the internet for his actions and even compared it to the one that occurred in Pune during the 2023 World Cup. But, in the latest events, the local police confirmed that 'Robi' was not beaten but rather fell ill due to dehydration.

Several media houses have reported that the Bangladeshi fan fell ill, and even the fan himself spoke to PTI, where he opened up on his health, deteriorating while watching the action on day 1. 

"My health deteriorated and police brought me to the hospital for treatment. I am feeling better now," says Bangladeshi fan 'Tiger Robi'. 


Even RevSportz, who were one of the initial media houses to report that the fan was beaten up in the stadium, confirmed that the Bangladeshi tiger fell ill.
