During the second Test match between IND vs BAN in Kanpur on September 27, 2024, a Bangladeshi superfan named Tiger Robi became ill from dehydration. However, earlier there were rumors that he had been attacked by local Indian supporters which caused concern and misinformation.
Tiger Robi, a passionate supporter of the Bangladesh cricket team, became the talk of the media where it was killed that he had been attacked by the Indian fans. This led to widespread outrage and support from fans around the world. However, the actual situation was less dramatic but still concerning.
The incident came to highlight when Tiger Robi showed signs of distress during the game. Reports later confirmed that he was suffering from severe dehydration rather than being attacked, as initially thought. The combination of heat and his intense cheering affected his health after which he needed medical assistance.
The Kanpur Police and stadium medical staff responded quickly and took him to Regency Hospital for treatment. Their prompt action was vital in preventing a potentially serious health issue. However, the initial confusion and spread of misinformation led to a different story gaining popularity on social media.
The rumors about Robi being attacked likely arose from the chaotic scene at the stadium when he was taken away, combined with the intense emotions of the match. Videos and images shared on platforms like X showed him being escorted out, which some people misinterpreted as him being removed after a fight instead of for medical help.
