This is not funny Bangladeshis, this is utterly shameful. Maybe the unexpected series win was too much for Bangladeshis to digest, time and again you guys have proved yourselves to be incapable of civilized behaviour, and this is one more example. Pardon my harsh words, but this is utterly utterly disgraceful, as disgraceful as your behaviour in the World Cup 2015. Shame on you Bangladeshis!

As the hosts' fans were jubilant following this historic triumph, they took to the streets to celebrate late into the night. And in a shameful behaviour, decided to target an Indian fan. Gautam, who was at the stadium to support MS Dhoni and his men, was attacked outside the venue when he was about to board an auto-rickshaw.
Speaking to "ABP News" Hindi TV channel, he said, "I have never faced such a situation. I was about to get into the auto, when they started pelting stones. They were shouting that they have taken revenge for the quarter-final loss of World Cup 2015 in Melbourne and now they will take revenge outside too." The 34-year-old added that he was saved from the mob, by 2 policemen. Gautam is seen at India's matches with his body painted in tri-colour. He is always spotted in the stands waving the Indian flag with number 10 on his body (Tendulkar's ODI jersey number). He had travelled to Australia and New Zealand for World Cup 2015.

Indian fan Sudhir was not attacked in Dhaka, says press photographer who witnessed the incident

Amid Indian media reports that Team India’s number one fan Sudhir Gautam was attacked by Bangladeshi supporters outside the stadium after Sunday’s ODI, a press photographer, who was there, has dismissed the allegations.
Indian media had reported that Sudhir was “attacked” near the VIP gate of Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium after the match on Sunday night.
Sudhir, who has devoted his life to Sachin Tendulkar, is the most visible and famous fan of Indian cricket team.
He makes his presence felt by painting his body and face with tri-colour, representing Indian flag.
The media reports claimed that Sudhir was mobbed by Bangladesh supporters as soon as he came out of the stadium.
bdnews24.com’s photojournalist Asif Mahmud Ove, who was present there, however, said the Indian fan was not physically assaulted.
He had even clicked a photo of Sudhir boarding an autorickshaw near the stadium.
“After the match around 11:45pm when Sudhir was coming out of the stadium through VIP gate, some Bangladesh fans surrounded him shouting Bhua, Bhua (fake).
“Some also taunted him chanting Mauka, Mauka (opportunity),” the photo journalist said.
Star Sports had made the ‘Mauka Mauka’ advertisement campaign ahead of India’s match against Pakistan in the last World Cup.
As the advertisement became popular, the sports channel came up with new such ‘Mauka advertisements’ before India’s every World Cup match.
Some Indian fans had even circulated on YouTube their self-created Mauka videos. Alleging that Indian videos were offensive to Bangladesh, counter videos were also circulated at that time.
“Sudhir was waiting for an autorickshaw, when a group of Bangladesh fans jeered him. Seeing the crowd around him, some police personnel, who was on duty there, cordoned him and put him into an autorickshaw,” Ove recalled.

At that time, some fans chased the three-wheeler shouting Bhua Bhua.”
Kolkata-based Anandabazar Patrika, quoting Sudhir, reported that a group of Bangladesh supporters attacked the Indian fan.
It further claimed that stones were also pelted targeting the autorickshaw he had hired.
“I have not seen him being physically assaulted,” Ove said.
Almost all the Indian media, however described the incident as “attack.”
But Mirpur police said there was no incident of attack on any Indian fan.
Deputy Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Mirpur division Quayumuzzaman told bdnews24.com that strong police presence was there in the stadium and its surrounding areas.
“I am not aware of any incident of attack on anyone in the area,” he said.
