A Bangladeshi cricket fan has alleged harassment against the Indian cricket fans during the ongoing opening Test at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. In a video surfaced on social media, the Bangladeshi fan was heard indicating that the fans at the stadium was seen mocking him 'Mauka Mauka'. The incident reportedly occurred on day 1.
In the video published on their X handle by a Bangladeshi media house, the fan suggested that the Indians kept saying the words 'Mauka Mauka' to him. The fan went on to suggest that he deserves respect as an overseas team's fan, having bought a ticket to watch the game.
Below is the video of the fan:
