00:08latest news update.

00:10After defeating Pakistan in the World Champions Legends Final, Indian team player and former

00:14Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh posted a video on his Instagram in which he was accompanied

00:19by Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina.

00:21In the video, he acts like he's exhausted after a leg day, leg workout, at the gym to

00:26the song Tuba Toba from the movie Call.

00:29In the Instagram post, which has now been removed, Harbhajan tagged actor Vicky Kaushal

00:34and wrote, Body has repented in 15 days of Legends cricket.

00:38The body parts are showing.

00:40The video has been heavily criticized and many users believe it amounts to making fun

00:44of people with disabilities.

00:46India's Parabadmanthan star Manasi Joshi, who has lost one leg, has criticized the move,

00:52terming it as senseless.

00:54Expressing his disappointment, Manasi said that the action of the players has hurt the

00:58sentiments of disabled people.

01:00Manasi wrote that responsible behavior was expected from players like you.

01:05This is no joke.

01:06Don't insult disabled people.

01:08Manasi added that the video could encourage the mockery of people with disabilities, which

01:12would bully many children and youth with disabilities.

01:15After this controversy, a group working for the rights of persons with disabilities has

01:19filed a complaint against these cricketers.

01:22A user named Suresh Nika wrote, Being a disabled person, I feel that this video intentionally

01:27insults disabled people and is a violation of section 92 of the Rights of Persons with

01:31Disabilities Act, 2016, which is punishable by imprisonment for up to 5 years.

01:38Many Indian and Pakistani users believe that the video was made to make fun of Pakistani

01:42players in World Champions Legends.

01:44Richard Kettleborough asked if he was making fun of the current Pakistani fast bowling

01:48unit that gets injured every two months.

01:51Harbhajan Singh has apologized in a statement and said that his intention was not to hurt

01:55anyone's heart.

01:57He said that we respect every person and community and the purpose of this video was just to

02:01show what happens to our body after playing cricket for 15 days.

02:05Harbhajan says if anyone thinks we have done something wrong, I apologize on my behalf

02:10and now end it here.
