Gets Removed

remove his emotional video celebrating the team's title triumph.
RCB won the IPL 2025 title on June 3, ending an 18-year wait for the franchise.
Siddharth Mallya celebrated the victory with an emotional
video shared on Instagram.
Instagram removed Mallya's video due to a copyright
infringement complaint from IPL authorities.
As the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won the Indian
Premier League (IPL) 2025 title, exactly a week ago on June 03, the entire
cricketing world went gaga, singing praises of the franchis the owners of the franchise, and the fans had
to wait for 18 years before they could feel what it meant to be an IPL
champion. Even Siddharth Mallya, son of RCB's former owner and a fugitive,
Vijay Mallya, shared a video on Instagram celebrating the team's victory.
However, the video was taken down by Instagram over copyright infringement.
In a video on Instagram, Siddharth revealed that he was
suspended from posting anything on Instagram due to a copyright infringement
issue. But on Monday, he decided to share his part of the story. Junior Mallya
even claimed that he dug deep to find out it was the IPL authorities who asked
Instagram to take down his video.
"For some reason, Instagram decided to take the video
down and proceeded to ban me from interacting on the app," he said in the
video.
He added: "The ban was lifted yesterday. It turns out
that after I got to the bottom of this, the video was brought down because IPL
complained and said that I have violated their copyright police, which is
absolutely nuts to me. The video was less than a minute long, and it was about
me and my emotions. It's crazy that they took away my opportunity to celebrate
and interact with fans. I am upset about i,t and it's sad on the part of IPL.
Such is life."
