Watch: Woman breaches security to grab Rohit Sharma's hand as video goes viral

A major security breach took place in the airport when India's former captain and current opening batter Rohit Sharma was allegedly grabbed by his arm and dragged by a woman while he was returning to the team hotel during the third of the three-match ODI against New Zealand in Indore recently, as the clip, shared on social media platforms, went viral. 

It shows the woman skipping past the security to get close to Rohit Sharma, who appears to have been taken aback by the incident. It also shows Oman later revealing that she had approached the former Indian captain in hopes of getting his attention towards her daughter, who is suffering from a serious illness for which she needs an injection that will cost around INR nine crore.

“My name is Sarita Sharma. My daughter, Anika, is suffering from a serious illness, and to save her, we need an injection that costs Rs 9 crore and has to be imported from America. We have been organising small camps to raise funds, and so far, we have managed to collect Rs 4.1 crore. We are running out of time.” The woman expressed in the clip.

A similar situation happened a few days ago with Elvis Yadav, as a woman had gone to him with her child, asking for help, claiming the same amount of money. Later, it was found out that the case was fake.

“I want to appeal to Virat sir and Rohit sir. You may not be aware of what I was trying to do. I was not there to click any selfies; I just wanted to save my child’s life. I also want to apologise to the authorities for my actions. I did not know what else to do. I request Virat and Rohit that if they receive my message, please help me.” The woman apologised later on.

“Yesterday, during the India-New Zealand match, we tried to reach out to cricketers in the hope of getting some help. We also set up a donation camp during the match, but it was not enough. I was trying to meet Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, as they have been helping children.” She added.
