Two female players from the Australian squad participating in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 were allegedly followed on a motorcycle and one was inappropriately touched while walking towards a café near their hotel in Indore on October 23. The accused, identified as Akhil Khan, was arrested by local police after a bystander noted the bike’s number plate. An FIR was filed under sections 74 (outraging a woman’s modesty) and 78 (stalking) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The incident has raised serious concerns about security arrangements for international athletes in India.
