Disabled Individuals’ Mockery Case Filed Against Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, and Others

Karachi: Harbhajan Singh, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, and Gurkeerat Mann have been formally accused of mocking disabled individuals, leading to a police complaint. Arman Ali, Executive Director of the National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP), lodged the complaint with the Amir Colony Police Station SHO.
Former cricketers posted a video on social media after India’s victory against Pakistan in the World Champions of Legends final, depicting Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, and Raina limping and mimicking disabilities in a derogatory manner. In the video, the cricketers remarked that their bodies were “riddled with wounds” during the 15-day tournament, portraying each injury humorously.
The video drew criticism from disability rights organizations, labeling it as shameful for the disabled community. Harbhajan Singh has since apologized for his behavior.
The incident has sparked widespread debate on social media regarding sensitivity towards disabled individuals and the responsibility of public figures in promoting respectful behavior.
