During an IPL match between Gujarat lions and Mumbai Indians on May 21, some police officials had allegedly manhandled SDM Singh, who was on duty during the match.

Singh alleged that some police officials were trying to get their family members entry into the stadium without tickets. But when he objected a scuffle ensued between them. He accused the policemen of slapping him also.
