The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has issued a strong condemnation following a distressing incident involving Australian cricketers in Indore. The episode, which occurred on Thursday morning, saw two female players from the Australian team subjected to stalking and inappropriate behavior as they left their hotel to visit a nearby cafe. BCCI Honorary Secretary Devajit Saikia described the incident as “deeply regrettable and isolated,” reaffirming India’s commitment to hospitality and safety for all visitors. Saikia emphasized the board’s zero-tolerance stance towards such acts and lauded the Madhya Pradesh Police for their prompt response in apprehending the accused. The 30-year-old suspect, who has a prior criminal record, was arrested within six hours of the complaint being filed. The BCCI has pledged to review and enhance its safety protocols to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Cricket Australia confirmed the incident, stating that the matter is being handled by local authorities. This incident has reignited concerns about violence against women in India, where such cases remain alarmingly prevalent.
