During the opening day of the second Test match against India, a Bangladeshi cricket fan named Roby was reportedly heckled and required medical attention. Roby, who was dressed in a tiger costume and seated in stand C, faced an unclear triggering incident that led to his distress.

An Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association official indicated that Roby could not clearly communicate the sequence of events but was evidently in significant discomfort. Roby suggested that he had been punched in the abdomen during an altercation, and his pain was noticeable as he exited the stands.
