A political row erupted in India after BJP leader Sangeet Som questioned Shah Rukh Khan's IPL team, KKR, for buying Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rahman. Som cited alleged atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh, stating a player from a "Hindu-hostile country" should not be picked and threatened a boycott. RJD leaders defended Khan, arguing sports and art should remain separate from politics and calling the controversy divisive amid rising India-Bangladesh tensions.
