Further investigation is underway.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>The clip is reportedly from an episode of the Hindi web series Lukkhe.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>In the scene, Yograj Singh\u2019s character is shown inside a police station speaking with police officers before making the alleged remarks about women.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Yograj, who is the father of Yuvraj Singh, has previously been involved in controversies over his public comments.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Earlier this year in March, Yograj made another controversial statement while speaking about players\u2019 retirement decisions and the role of women in the family.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>In an interview with InsideSport, he had said: &#8220;Ladies of the house, your wifes, they start coaching, they tell you it\u2019s time for you to retire, it\u2019s time to look after the family, the kids ,let\u2019s enjoy kids.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>&#8220;So I believe women should not come in between the legendary prospect of a player, fakir aur player yeh dono ka koi dharam nahi hai, warg nahi hai, they belong to god,&#8221; Yograj had said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>In the same interaction, Yograj also commented on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma amid discussions around retirement and age in cricket.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Both Kohli and Rohit have retired from T20Is and Tests and now play only ODI cricket.

Laanat hai zindagi bhar. Make the world realise that you are the best, that you are indispensable. Even if you are fifty years old and still scoring a double hundred, no one will drop you.
