A Bangladesh cricket fan, who goes by the name of Tiger Robi, was rushed to a hospital on Friday after he was allegedly hit on the lower abdomen by some spectators at the Green Park Stadium.

“They hit me on my back and lower abdomen and I could not breathe,” Robi told  Sportstar as the security personnel rushed him to a nearby hospital for immediate treatment.

However, the police at the venue denied such allegations. “One of our officers found him gasping for breath near the C block entrance, and he was struggling to speak. It seems like a case of dehydration, but we will wait for the doctors’ advice,” a police source said.
