More than 2,500 police personnel have been deployed and prohibitory orders have been put in place in Gwalior ahead of the first T20I between India and Bangladesh that takes place in the city on Sunday.
Security has been tightened following a call for a city-wide shutdown by a right-wing group on 6 October, the day the T20I leg of Bangladesh’s tour of India gets underway.
The Hindu Mahasabha has announced a 'Gwalior Bandh' on Sunday while other ring-wing outfits have called for the match to be canceled in protest against alleged atrocities committed against Hindus in Bangladesh since the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led government.
Additionally, security has also been beefed up at the two hotels that the Indian and Bangladeshi teams have been staying in since Wednesday.
"On the day of the match, personnel will be on the streets from 2 pm. They will be on duty till spectators reach home after the game is over. After prohibitory orders were invoked, monitoring has been tightened. We are keeping an eye on social media as well," Gwalior Zone Inspector General of Police Arvind Saxena told PTI.
Prohibitory orders issued in Gwalior
Besides the massive police deployment, the District Magistrate (DM) and Collector Ruchika Chauhan issued the prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) on the recommendation of the Superintendent of Police (SP).
The orders ban protests and circulation of inflammatory material, especially on social media to maintain peace in the region, and will remain in force till Monday, 7 October — a day after the match.
The SP noted that different organizations were engaged in taking out processions, organizing demonstrations and effigy burning to protest against the match.
Religious sentiments were being incited and a communal atmosphere was being created with objectionable messages, pictures, videos, audio, and other means on social media platforms which is detrimental to social harmony, he said.
The SP recommended the imposition of prohibitory orders to maintain peace, law, and order in the Madhya Pradesh district.
As per the orders, any person within the limits of the district will face action if he or she via social media platforms disrupts the international match or incites religious sentiments. Banners, posters, cut-outs, flags, and other things with objectionable or inflammatory language and messages stand banned.
Demonstrations and effigy burning, among other things, at private or public places will not be allowed during the period, according to the administration.
Gatherings of five or more people, carrying firearms, blunt and sharp weapons like swords and spears are also prohibited. Use of inflammable substances such as kerosene, petrol, and acid has been banned within a radius of 200 meters of all buildings, it said.
The India-Bangladesh clash will take place at the new Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium, which has a capacity of 30,000 and is hosting an international cricket match after a gap of 14 years.

Najmul Hossain Shanto To Step Down As Bangladesh Captain
Bangladesh's all-format captain Najmul Hossain Shanto is likely to step down from the leadership role after the conclusion of the ongoing home Test series against South Africa.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board appointed Najmul as captain across formats for a year in February 2024, with plans for him to lead the team in the Champions Trophy next year. However, Najmul has informed the board of his decision to step down and is awaiting approval from board president Faruque Ahmed, who is currently abroad and expected to return soon.
A senior BCB director is attempting to persuade Najmul to reconsider his decision to step down as captain, though a reversal appears unlikely at this point, the report said. Following the 2024 T20 World Cup, Najmul initially planned to resign from T20 captaincy but later decided to quit as captain across all formats.

Tabith Awal Elected New President of BFF
Tabith Awal has been elected as the new president of the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF). He secured 123 votes, while his closest rival, A.F.M. Mizanur Rahman Chowdhury, received just 5 votes.
Since 1998, the sports arena in Bangladesh has followed an electoral system. The first elected president of BFF was S.A. Sultan, followed by Kazi Salahuddin, a legendary footballer who held the position for four consecutive terms. Salahuddin did not participate in this election, making Tabith the third elected president in the federation’s history. Interestingly, Tabith received the highest number of votes ever recorded for this position.
Tabith Awal had previously served as a vice president of BFF in 2012 and 2016. In 2020, the vice-presidential race ended in a tie, and he lost the re-election by just four votes. This time, however, he has secured the top spot.
His victory as BFF president seemed only a matter of time. After voting concluded at 6 PM, the election commission began the counting process with the presidential votes. Within half an hour, the count was completed, confirming Tabith’s 123 votes against Mizanur's 5.

Real Madrid and La Liga Condemn Abuse of Barcelona Players
Real Madrid on Sunday strongly condemned the racist behavior of its fans at the El Clasico football match, which saw Madrid thumped 4-0 by rival FC Barcelona on Saturday.
Several Black Barcelona players, including 17-year-old phenom and Spanish national team player Lamine Yamal, faced racist insults during the game.
Yamal, for instance, was targeted with abuse after becoming the youngest player ever to score a goal in El Clasico, the name for the match between Spain's two biggest clubs.
Real, Spain's La Liga and its governing football body RFEF, as well as numerous government and police agencies, all condemned the situation, promising swift and harsh punishment for the perpetrators.
La Liga and its governing body strongly denounce the 'scourge' of racism
Real Madrid on Sunday said it had already launched an investigation, releasing a statement that read: "Real Madrid strongly condemns any kind of behavior involving racism, xenophobia or violence in football and sport, and deeply regrets the insults that a few fans uttered last night in one of the corners of the stadium."
"La Liga will immediately report the racist insults and gestures received by Barcelona players to the Hate Crimes Section of the National Police Information Brigade, as well as informing the Coordinating Prosecutor of the Hate Crimes and Discrimination Unit of the State Attorney General's Office," read a league statement.
"La Liga vehemently condemns the incidents at the Santiago Bernabeu and remains firm in its commitment to eradicate any kind of racist behavior and hatred inside and outside stadiums."
The RFEF, Spanish football's governing body, called racism a "social scourge," vowing zero tolerance for racist abuse and violence.
In the past, RFEF and La Liga have gone so far as to close stadiums over such behavior.
The Spanish Supreme Sports Council (CSD) said that its Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance would convene on Monday to discuss the case.
Beyond sporting bodies — the Spanish government gets involved
Spain's Minister for Inclusion and Migration Elma Saiz was among those in government to speak out against the incident.
"The racist insults aimed at Lamine Yamal in the Clasico are everything we in the government will fight against," she wrote on social media platform X. "We will not allow attacks that we do not tolerate in other spaces to become normalized in sport."
Minister for Education, Professional Development and Sport Pilar Alegria wrote on X: "Neither racism, nor insults, nor violence have a place in our country's sport."
Spanish football has long grappled with the issue of racism in its stadiums and has recently gotten help from prosecutors and judges.
In June, three Valencia fans were given eight-month prison sentences for abuse targeting Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr.
Vinicius made headlines and received an outpouring of global support a year earlier for facing down those abusive fans in Valencia's Mastella Stadium in May 2023.
In December 2023, four Atletico Madrid fans were charged in a separate racist incident targeting Vinicius. Prosecutors are pushing for four-year prison terms for each.
And this week, four more individuals were arrested for their suspected involvement in organizing an online hate campaign against Vinicius.
The Brazilian voiced support for Yamal and his Barcelona teammates, writing on X: "There is no place for these criminals in our society. I know that Madrid and the police will do things to identify and punish the guilty."
Ballon d'Or 2024 / Vinícius Jr. 'Not Respected' After Losing to Rodri, Claims Real Madrid
Real Madrid say the Ballon d'Or and UEFA "do not respect" the Spanish champions after Manchester City's Rodri was crowned the 2024 winner.
Madrid winger Vinicius Junior was the heavy favorite to scoop the award in the days leading up to Monday's ceremony, with the club expecting their first winner since Karim Benzema in 2022.
With rumors circulating that it would instead go to Man City midfielder Rodri, it emerged that there would be no one present at the ceremony from the Spanish club at the Theatre du Chatelet in France.
An emotional Rodri did collect the trophy, with Vinicius ranked second and his Real Madrid team-mate Jude Bellingham finishing third.
The result did not sit well with Real, who issued a statement saying the club was not respected.
"If the award criteria don't give it to Vinicius as the winner, then those same criteria should point to Carvajal as the winner," the club told AFP on Monday.
"As this was not the case, it is clear that Ballon d'Or-UEFA does not respect Real Madrid. And Real Madrid does not go where it is not respected."
Carvajal, who scored alongside Vinicius in Madrid's UEFA Champions League final victory over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium, finished fourth overall.
In the aftermath of the ceremony, Los Blancos players took to social media to speak out in support of Vinicius, who missed out on his first Ballon d'Or after a remarkable 12 months.

Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni said: "They are not ready for what you're gonna deliver," while Eder Militao insisted: “You are the best and no one can take that away from you."
Eduardo Camavinga also dedicated a post to Vinicius, while Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti - who was awarded the Johan Cruyff Trophy for the best men’s coach - thanked the forward and Carvajal in a message on X.
"I want to thank my Family, my President, my Club, my Players, and above all Vini and Carvajal."
Although there were no Madrid representatives in attendance, the club did not walk away empty-handed.
In addition to Ancelotti’s award, the Liga outfit was named Club of the Year after their record-extending 15th Champions League success.
Kylian Mbappe, who is now a Madrid player following his summer transfer, shared the Gerd Muller Trophy with Harry Kane.
