Bangladeshi cricket enthusiast Rabi-ul-Islam, affectionately known as Tiger Robi, has been repatriated to his home country after a controversial incident during the India-Bangladesh test match in Kanpur.
Robi, who suffers from metastatic cancer, had arrived in India on a medical visa. However, he allegedly visited Chennai to support the Bangladesh team and later traveled to Kanpur. On Friday, he was found gasping for breath at the Green Park stadium and was taken to Regency Hospital.
Initially, Robi claimed he had been assaulted during an altercation. However, he later retracted his statement, saying he merely felt unwell. Police officials confirmed that Robi had not been assaulted and that he had received immediate medical care.
Despite having a medical visa, it remains unclear how Robi was able to travel for the matches. Sources indicate that he has been deported, but the exact circumstances surrounding his departure are still being investigated.
Robi's case has raised concerns about the misuse of medical visas and the need for stricter regulations. It also highlights the challenges faced by foreign nationals seeking medical treatment in India.
