Both UP Police and the Bangladesh fan Robi, who was reported to have been attacked, later confirmed that no such attack was made on the fan in the stands of Green Park stadium in Kanpur during the second Test between India and Bangladesh today.  

Robi and UP Police later verified that the fan in question had fallen ill due to dehydration which is why he had been taken to hospital. 

"He collapsed due to dehydration. Police and the medical staff rushed to help him immediately and was taken to the hospital. He is now feeling better. The speculation about the assault is completely wrong. He was not hit by any fan," ACP Kalyanpur Abhishek Pandey said in a video message. 

Robi also informed in a video on his Facebook page that the "Police had taken me to the hospital after I had fallen ill."
