The BCCI on Saturday strongly condemned the alleged molestation incident involving two Australian women's team cricketers. The two players were walking towards a cafe when a man on a motorcycle allegedly touched one of them inappropriately and rode off. The police have arrested the man involved in the incident which took place on Thursday.

"It is a very condemnable, but stray incident. India is known for its hospitality and care. We have zero tolerance for such incidents. We appreciate the State Police [Madhya Pradesh] for their prompt action to nab the culprit," BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said in a statement.
