'Mistake from their side too': BJP minister's shocker on Australian women cricketers molested in Indore
Madhya Pradesh minister said the harassment incident offers a security lesson as players did not inform authorities before stepping out, highlighting the need for vigilance in high-profile sports events.
- On Sunday in Indore, Kailash Vijayvargiya, the Madhya Pradesh minister for Urban Development and Housing and Parliamentary Affairs, said the harassment case was a `lesson ` for authorities and players.
- Because cricket draws intense attention, security officers said Australian players sometimes underestimate their popularity and fail to alert security before stepping out, increasing their exposure.
- Two Australian women cricketers stepped out from the Radisson Blu Hotel, Indore and were molested about 500 meters away, prompting Danny Simmons, the team's security manager, to file an FIR.
- Police said they have invoked maximum legal provisions and arrested Aqeel alias Naitra, who was sent to 14 days judicial custody under relevant BNS sections.
- Vijayvargiya said he spoke to Indore security officers and authorities have examined the episode to prevent recurrence as the Australian women's cricket team played Saturday.
