Asia Cup: Gautam Gambhir flashes middle finger to Kohli fans; Video viral
Colombo: Former Indian cricketer and current BJP MP, Gautam Gambhir, has again stirred controversy during the India vs. Nepal match by making an offensive gesture towards fans who were chanting the name of cricketer Virat Kohli.
Video footage of the incident quickly circulated on social media wherein he can be seen flashing his middle finger to the fans of Virat Kohli, leading fans to accuse Gambhir of displaying jealousy and insecurity towards Kohli. Many expressed their disbelief that a Member of Parliament would engage in such behavior in public.
The rivalry between Gambhir and Kohli, as well as their respective fan bases, has been ongoing, particularly since an on-field altercation between the two during an IPL match earlier this year when Gambhir was serving as the mentor of a team.
Recently, during a match between India and Pakistan, Gambhir criticized Kohli's performance, particularly his dismissal by Shaheen Afridi, referring to Kohli's shot as a "nothing shot" that led to the ball hitting his stumps and dismissing him

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
