Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh was arrested and released on interim bail by Haryana Police for using a casteist slur against Yuzvendra Chahal. Yuvi was reportedly arrested and questioned for over 3 hours before being released.

A case was registered against Yuvraj in February this year by a Hansi-based resident over a 'distasteful' and 'disrespectful' comment against Dalit society during an Instagram discussion with Yuzvendra Chahal in 2020. The FIR was lodged 8 months after an advocate from Hisar filed a police complaint against the cricketer for his 'casteist comments'.

Yuvraj Singh had taken to Twitter and apologised for "unintentionally hurting sentiments" of a particular society of people.
