14 years after Virat Kohli's warning over ‘foul language', X user finally suspended
The X account of a person who was warned by Virat Kohli in 2011 for allegedly using "foul language" against the cricketer has been suspended, nearly 14 years after the exchange.
In 2011, Virat Kohli issued a stern message to an X user whose handle is named @Ishaan3, telling him that his account will be deactivated soon.
"your account has been reported and will be deactivated soon. dont tweet if u wana use foul language(sic)," Kohli told Ishaan on December 6, 2011.
Over the years, the X user took frequent digs at Kohli and often boasted that his account had never been suspended despite the warning.
"Still I am on Twitter bro... 5... paanch saal ho gaye (it has been five years)," he told Kohli in 2016.
"10 saal hogaye Kohli bhai," he said in another post in 2020.
The cricketer's post, which is still up on X, has drawn numerous reactions over the years, with latest posts including people sharing screenshots of Ishaan's X account's suspension.
While the exact date of the X user's account suspension is unclear, X users began flagging the action on Wednesday, sharing screenshots of the suspended account.
Soon, fans of Kohli celebrated the action on the X user.
'Golden year for Virat Kohli… RCB ne trophy jeet li aur Issaan ka account suspend ho gaya (RCB won the trophy and Ishaan's account has been suspended),' a user said.
'Kohli winning every long due this year,' another person said.
X can suspended a user's account for various types of violation of the platform's rules on safety, privacy and authenticity.

From celebration to tragedy: all in a day's work
There was victory in the air in Bengaluru on June 4. After a 17-year-long wait, the city's favourite franchise, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), had clinched the trophy in the Indian Premier League (IPL) the previous night. The team was landing in Bengaluru from Ahmedabad, and a victory parade was being planned. For a city reporter, this meant a long day. At around 10 a.m., the reporting team got on a conference call to plan the stories. We discussed how the city had not slept after the victory, how fans from the city had travelled to Ahmedabad to watch the final match, and how people on the Internet had created a thousand different memes and reels. We also discussed threadbare how we would cover the proposed victory parade. We anticipated that the Central Business District (CBD), where our office is located, would be choked with vehicles from the afternoon as the victory parade was scheduled to begin after 3 p.m. While loyal newspaper readers may be willing to wait for more than a day to read about the celebrations that unfolded that night in Bengaluru, online readers move on to other websites if the stories they are looking for are not uploaded on time. So, before leaving for office that morning, I filed some stories on the fan frenzy, describing how firecrackers had kept the skies aglow the previous night, people had danced madly on the streets, and bike rallies had kept everyone awake. My plan was simple: get to office early, file the special stories for the day, and keep the evening free as a great deal of coordination was necessary for covering such a mammoth event. An army of interns was stationed at multiple points at the city to watch the parade pass by. By around 1 p.m., fans clad in RCB colours begin to gather in CBD. I noted it down to draw a timeline later in the day. By 3 p.m., I finished filing three stories on the celebrations for online. But shortly, the unexpected happened. As lakhs of fans gathered around the M. Chinnaswamy stadium and Vidhana Soudha, we first got the news that a woman had lost consciousness. Then, more bad news trickled in: a person had died due to a 'stampede-like situation'. My colleague immediately checked with her hospital sources and found that at least four people had died. Within an hour, seeing the raucous crowd, we knew that the numbers would climb into double-digits. It did not take too long for us to find out that 11 people had died, and most of them very young. The mood quickly shifted in the newsroom, just as it did in the rest of the city. We decided that the stories of celebrations would no longer be reported for the print edition. I frantically called the interns one after another to make sure they were safe, and asked them to come back to office. All the reporters in the newsroom breathed a sigh of relief when the last intern made it back to the office. Then it was the turn of senior reporters to fan out. One went to the stadium, another to the hospital near the stadium, and yet another to the mortuary at the government hospital. After gathering inputs from multiple sources, colleagues, and eyewitnesses, I wrote a detailed story on how the celebrations quickly turned into a tragedy. I ended up drawing a timeline, but it was not the one I had planned earlier. There were steady developments. Reporters kept filing stories — about the chaos, the mismanagement, the panic, and the grief — without a break. They filed enough stories to fill nearly all the city pages. At around 11 p.m., I was finally done with work. When I made my way back home, the air was heavy with mourning. The city, which had been alive with celebrations just 24 hours ago, had fallen completely silent.

Bengaluru stampede: Karnataka govt hints at RCB announcement in Ahmedabad after IPL win being a trigger
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) cricket team made an announcement on June 3 in Ahmedabad at 11.30 pm about hosting celebrations in Bengaluru on June 4 for its first-ever Indian Premier League (IPL) final victory, the Karnataka government Thursday said in a factual narration of events in a report given to the Karnataka High Court on the June 4 stampede at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy cricket stadium that resulted in the death of 11 RCB fans. 'On factual narration what emerges is that on the evening of June 3, at 11.30 PM, they have stated that they are coming to Bengaluru for celebrations,' state Advocate General K M Shashikiran Shetty told a division bench of the Karnataka High Court after providing a report in a sealed cover on the stampede deaths, as sought by the court. The high court has posed nine questions to the Karnataka government with regard to the June 4 stampede. Among the questions posed by the HC are, 'When and who has taken the decision to hold the victory celebration and in what manner?' Whether 'any permission was sought to organize the event?' and 'whether any SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) has been formulated to manage a crowd of 50,000 and above in any sports event and celebrations of this nature?' The Karnataka government, which also felicitated the RCB team on June 4 in Bengaluru, has been arguing in the courts that the cause of the stampede at the Chinnaswamy cricket stadium was the unilateral decision of RCB to invite fans for an open celebration in Bengaluru on June 4 – through announcements in Ahmedabad on June 3 (including those by key RCB players after the win) and social media posts early on June 4. The government has argued that open invitations were extended to fans without RCB obtaining the official clearances needed from the Bengaluru police for hosting the event. 'The pre incident, the incident, the post incident – we have given a factual narration and answered all your queries to the extent possible on the basis of the material that is available,' the Karnataka advocate general told the HC on Thursday after handing over a report. The division bench of the HC comprising Acting Chief Justice V Kameswar Rao and Justice C M Joshi adjourned the suo motu petition for further hearing on June 17 after noting that the AG had 'filed the report sought by us'. The high court also ordered that 'all the original correspondence – both offline/online – of all stakeholders involved in organizing the event should be kept in safe custody.' The HC identified the Karnataka chief secretary to be the custodian of the correspondence. In the wake of the Bengaluru stampede, the state government had suspended five police officers – including the Bengaluru police commissioner – on June 6. It also constituted a one-man judicial commission to probe the stampede incident and the deaths.
