PCB Chairman manhandled after Pakistan beats India - chairman - 06-19-2017
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, Najam Sethi, was reportedly manhandled by a group of PTI supporters right after the India vs Pakistan final of the ICC Champions Trophy. To confirm the same, he tweeted that he was ‘pushed’ and ‘shoved’ by these supporters before the police got him to safety.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters were allegedly shouting slogans throughout the length of the match and many eyewitnesses confirmed to seeing them hauling the PCB chief.

The PCB chairman was immediately escorted to safety by the security at The Oval and has not suffered any physical harm. It does not seem like any action would be taken against the perpetrators, considering the huge number of people that were present at the ground yesterday.

I read this article earlier and was surprised buy the people's reactions in the comments section of the post. I suppose most of it is to be expected when you think about it, though.
