In his complaint, Mr Sirsa cited a tweet by Mr Zubair where he had shared screenshots of tweets against Mr Singh posted on various handles.
BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa has filed a police complaint against fact checker and co-founder of Alt News website Mohammed Zubair, accusing him of "spreading hate" against cricketer Arshdeep Singh and the Sikh community with his tweet.
The player became a victim of vicious trolling on social media after he dropped a catch during India's five-wicket loss to arch-rival Pakistan in the Super four match of the Asia Cup in Dubai on Sunday.
In his complaint filed at the Parliament Street police station, Mr Sirsa cited a tweet by Mr Zubair where he had shared screenshots of tweets against Mr Singh posted on various handles.
The BJP leader claimed that most of these tweets were from ''Pakistani accounts'' and alleged that Mr Zubair had acted at the behest of "anti-national elements".
