A Bangladeshi cricket fan was allegedly heckled in the stands and taken to a medical facility during the opening day of the second Test against India here on Friday but there was no clarity on what triggered the incident.
The man, who calls himself super fan Roby, was dressed in a tiger costume and sitting in stand C when the incident happened.
An Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association official said Roby could not communicate the exact sequence of events but it was clear that he was in distress.

During an interaction with media, he indicated that he had been punched in his abdomen during an altercation.
"As he came out of the stands, he was wincing in pain and seemed to be fainting. He was given a chair to sit but he fell," the official said.
A police officer present at the stadium said the fan was provided first aid and an ambulance was called for him.
