Overview

• The incident occurred as Mohun Bagan forward Jason Cummings boarded the team bus after his side’s 1-2 defeat to East Bengal at Yuva Bharati Krirangan.
• Cummings’s middle-finger gesture drew widespread criticism on social media and prompted comparisons to Greg Chappell’s 2005 Eden Gardens incident.
• Greek substitute Dimitrios Diamantakos scored a brace for East Bengal, converting a 38th-minute penalty and adding a second-half finish.
• Mohun Bagan’s Anirudh Thapa narrowed the deficit with a 67th-minute long-range strike, but East Bengal’s defence held firm to secure victory.
• Neither Mohun Bagan nor tournament authorities have announced disciplinary measures while the club contends with injuries to key players.
