During the first ODI match between India and South Africa played in Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand, an incident was witnessed which shocked both the spectators and the stadium management. In the match, Indian cricket team’s star batsman Virat Kohli batted brilliantly and scored the 52nd century of his ODI career. As soon as Kohli completed his century by hitting a four, a wave of happiness ran through the entire JSCA stadium. Amidst this excitement, a fan suddenly broke the security cordon and jumped straight into the field and reached Virat Kohli.
The video of the incident quickly went viral on social media, in which it can be seen that the young man sits on his knees and starts touching Kohli’s feet. Kohli remained completely calm and even tried to wake him up, but then the security personnel immediately reached the field and took the young man out of there. This entire incident happened within a few seconds, but it raised questions on the security arrangements of the stadium. After the incident, the police had detained the youth. During interrogation, it was revealed that he is a resident of West Bengal and is a big fan of Virat Kohli.
What action was taken against the young man?
Ranchi’s Hatia DSP Pramod Mishra said that the youth was a minor and crossed the security cordon in complete excitement. He said, he has been released on PR bond because neither the cricket management nor any other person filed any written complaint against him. They were children and were overwhelmed with emotions after seeing their favorite player score a century. Although it is wrong to do so, but due to no complaint, legal action was not taken.
