Cricketer Mohammed Siraj trolled for tweeting on Pele, Heeraben Modi, “ignoring” Rishabh Pant
New Delhi: Indian cricketer Mohammed Siraj was on Friday trolled and slammed by netizens for posting tweets on football great Pele and Heeraben Modi who passed away today while not posting any tweets on fellow teammate Rishabh Pant who was involved in a road accident earlier in the day.
Siraj in a tweet expressed condolences to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the passing away of his mother Heeraben Modi. Fans urged Siraj to write a tweet for Rishabh Pant wishing him quick recovery, but did not get any response.
Siraj later posted another tweet for former Brazilian footballer and all-time great of the game Pele who passed away due to cancer. Furious fans flooded Siraj’s comment section questioning why he had not posted any tweets, or messages for Rishabh Pant.
The 25-year-old Rishabh Pant dozed off and lost control of his Mercedes early morning on Friday en route to his home in Roorkee. He was alone in the car. The accident happened at Mohammadpur Jat in Manglaur town of Haridwar district. He suffered injuries on his head, back, and feet but is in stable condition.
Both Pant and Siraj share a friendly bond in the Indian dressing room and are often seen having funny banters on the field and in the dressing rooms.
My Heartfelt condolences to our Hon. Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji on the sad demise of his mother, Smt. Heeraben Modi ji. Sorry for your loss. May her soul rest in peace 🙏🏼

'Strong evidence' available against Saif attacker, police tell court while opposing his bail plea
Mumbai, Jul 25 (PTI): Police have opposed the bail plea of the Bangladeshi national arrested for allegedly stabbing Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan with a knife and injuring him at his home here in January this year, telling a Mumbai court there was "strong evidence" against the accused.
Citing a Forensic Science Laboratory report, police reiterated before the sessions court their earlier claim knife fragments that got lodged near the actor's spine during the attack as well as a part found at the crime spot have matched with the weapon recovered from the accused, Shariful Islam.
These three pieces were part of the same weapon (knife) used to attack the filmstar, the police said in a written response to the accused's plea submitted in the court on Thursday (July 24).
Khan was repeatedly stabbed with a knife by an intruder inside his 12th floor apartment in upscale Bandra on January 16 during a robbery attempt.
The 54-year-old actor underwent surgery at Lilavati Hospital to remove a piece of knife that got lodged near his spine during the attack. He was discharged from the private hospital after five days.
Shariful Islam, a Bangladeshi national, was arrested two days later for allegedly stabbing Khan.
The police, in their response, highlighted that the accused is a Bangladeshi citizen residing illegally in India.
If granted bail, there was a possibility that he may flee India and not appear before the court during the trial. The crime committed by the accused is of a "very serious nature, and strong evidence" is available against him, they argued.
In his bail plea, filed through advocate Vipul Dushing, the accused asserted he was innocent and had no prior criminal record.
Investigation into the case has practically concluded with only the filing of a chargesheet pending, the accused contended while seeking bail.
The alleged attacker has been booked under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections related to house trespass, robbery and dacoity with attempt to cause death or grievous injury.
