According to a report by Sportstar, Roby was seen waving the national flag and chanting slogans from C block balcony, however, he allegedly got into a confrontation with some of the other spectators during the first session before the security personnel took things under control.
But during lunch, Roby alleged that he was beaten up by a few local spectators, even though the police said that it will verify the official CCTV footage and look into his allegations.
The report further states that the police at the venue denied such allegations. A police source speaking to the publication said,“One of our officers found him gasping for breath near the C block entrance, and he was struggling to speak. It seems like a case of dehydration, but we will wait for the doctors’ advice,”
