During the IPL 2022 match between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore, a man got very expensive to enter the field. The 26-year-old man was arrested by the Pimpri-Chinchwad police in Pune on Sunday. According to The Indian Express, the police have registered a case against him for going to a restricted place and creating a ruckus.
The person has been identified as Dashrath Jadhav (26), a resident of Khandala taluka of Satara district. Inspector Madhukar Sawant, in-charge of Talegaon Dabhade police station, said that the police said that the incident took place between 10.30 and 10.45 pm when the match was going on. An FIR has been registered against the person under sections 447 and 353 of the Indian Penal Code.
Assistant Inspector Durganath Sali said, “Despite repeated warnings, the man jumped from the fence and entered the field. He first gave a fist bump to Virat Kohli and then ran towards Rohit Sharma. Later, the policemen on duty took him into custody. When he was being taken out of the field, he scuffled with the police and created a ruckus.”
