_(ARCHIVED VERSIONS POSTS SHARING THIS CLAIM CAN BE SEEN HERE, HERE, AND HERE.)_ BUT..?: There is no FIR against Marshall at any police station under Aligarh Police, the police said in a
statement. HOW DID WE FIND OUT?: All reports mentioned that the FIR was filed in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, and identified the complainant as one Pandit Keshav, who alleged that Marsh's
action of putting his feet on the Cricket World Cup trophy had "deeply offended the sentiments of Indian cricket team fans." ALIGARH POLICE'S STATEMENT: In a video statement,
Aligarh Police's Superintendent (SP City) Mrigank Shekhar Pathak confirmed that "no FIR had been registered in any police station by Aligarh Police, nor any cognisance of any such
complaint has been taken." THE COMPLAINT: THE QUINT's reporter tracked down the complainant, who said that the police had filed a complaint in the matter. * He said, "by
putting his feet on something that Indians consider sacred [the trophy], Marsh has disrespected both religious and cultural sentiments of the nation." * The complainant stated that he
would "wait for them [the police] to proceed", but would move the court if they did not. * He posted two letters – one to the prime minister, the other to the Sports Ministry –
demanding that Marsh be "handed a lifetime ban from cricket," or, at least, never to be given an Indian visa. * THE QUINT also accessed a copy of his complaint in Hindi, which
misidentifies Marsh as the team's captain and can be seen here.
