Arshdeep Singh Becomes Highest Wicket-Taker for Punjab Kings in IPL History

April 19, 2025, 11:30 am

Star pacer Arshdeep Singh wrote history by becoming the most wicket-taking bowler for Punjab Kings in IPL history. He recorded a big milestone in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) vs Punjab Kings (PBKS) match at the legendary M Chinnaswamy stadium here on Friday, April 18, 2025.

Arsheedp Singh Breaks Piyush Chawla’s Record

Arshdeep Singh overtook leg-spinner Piyush Chawla’s record of 84 wickets to achieve the milestone. He reached the achievement with his first wicket of the match, getting rid of Phil Salt in the first over of the innings. The Indian left-arm seamer delivered a back-of-a-length ball, and the batter attempted to pull it for a huge hit. Yet it clipped the upper edge of the bat, and the ball rose into the air. Jos Inglis yelled out for the catch and snagged the take inside the 30-yard circle.

Top 10 Wicket-Takers for Punjab Franchise

Other notable bowlers in the top 10 wicket-takers for Punjab Kings include Sandeep Sharma. He has picked up 73 wickets in 61 matches. Axar Patel follows with 69 wickets in 73 games. Mohammed Shami has 58 wickets in 42 outings.

Joining them on the list are P Awana, with 48 wickets in 38 matches. Irfan Pathan has 47 in 42 matches. Kagiso Rabada has 41 in 30 matches. All of them have made valuable contributions with the ball.

Sam Curran, MM Sharma, RD Chahar, and P Kumar complete the top 10. Each has delivered key performances for Punjab Kings during their respective IPL tenures. Arshdeep Singh’s achievement further strengthens his position as a key figure in Punjab Kings’ bowling attack.

Rise to Stardom for Arshdeep Singh

Prior to this game, Arshdeep Singh, who has played only for Punjab Kings in his IPL career, had 84 wickets in his bag in 71 games at a strike rate of 17.88 and an average of 26.82. He is one of the two bowlers who have taken a fifer for Punjab Kings in the IPL.

Arshdeep Singh emerged from the ranks and earned a spot in India’s roster after the IPL 2021. He was India’s top wicket-taker of the tournament in 2022 and 2024 T20 World Cups. In the IPL 2025 mega auction, Arshdeep Singh was retained by Punjab Kings for a record INR 18 crore since the franchise exercised an RTM on him. This made him the best-paid Indian pacer in the tournament, who had entered the auction.

Scheduled for Saturday, January 25, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Arshdeep Singh will head India’s pace attack in the second T20I against England. With the shortest format of the game, the 25-year-old left-arm pacer is about to create history.

Maximum number of T20I wickets versus England comes against:

Chris Jordan (UK)—24

Hardik Pandya (India) – sixteen.

India’s Yuzvendra Chahal has 16 runs in.scatter in this tournament.

Jofra Archer of England has 10.

Suryakumar Yadav Reflects on India’s Huge Win Over South Africa

November 16, 2024, 7:10 am

India secured a massive 135-run victory over South Africa in the fourth T20I in Johannesburg. This win sealed the series 3-1. Captain Suryakumar Yadav praised the team’s focus and execution.

Good Habits Led the Way

Suryakumar said the team was not worried about the result. Instead, they focused on maintaining their good habits. The series was already in India’s favor at 2-1, but they wanted to finish strong.

“There’s no secret to adapting to the conditions and situations. Our plans were very clear as soon as we landed in Durban. Last time when we came here, we played the same brand of cricket and wanted to continue that. Though we were up 2-1 in the series, today we wanted to follow the good habits and not worry about the result,” Suryakumar explained.

Stellar Batting Performance

The skipper applauded Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, and Tilak Varma for their brilliant batting. They executed the team’s plan perfectly.

“It’s very difficult for me to choose one good knock from them, it was amazing batting skills displayed by them. We spoke about that and they literally walked the talk. When we toured last year, we knew there was something in this wicket once the lights were on and the temperature dropped,” he added.

India Sets a Huge Target

After winning the toss, Suryakumar chose to bat first. The decision paid off. Openers Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma built a solid 73-run partnership. Abhishek smashed 2 fours and 4 sixes before Lutho Sipamla dismissed him in the sixth over.

Then, Samson and Tilak Varma took control. Samson reached his century in just 51 balls. Shortly after, Tilak scored his second T20I hundred. Together, they added a record-breaking 210-run partnership.

India finished at a staggering 283/1. Samson scored 109 off 51 balls. Tilak stayed unbeaten with 120 off 47 deliveries. The South African bowlers struggled, with Sipamla taking the only wicket but conceding heavily.

South Africa Falls Apart

South Africa’s chase started poorly. While Tristan Stubbs (43 off 29 balls) and David Miller (36 off 27 balls) tried to fight back, the rest of the batting lineup crumbled.

Indian bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakaravarthy bowled exceptionally well. They restricted South Africa to 148 with one over to spare.

Match Summary

India: 283/1 (20 Overs) Tilak Verma – 120*(47), Sanju Samson – 109*(56), Macro Jansen 1/42(4)
South Africa: 283/1 (20 Overs) Tristan Stubbs – 43(29), David Miller – 36(27), Arshdeep Singh – 3/20(3)

India’s powerful performance in Johannesburg highlighted their dominance. The team’s discipline and execution secured the series in style.

Khalistani Terrorist Arsh Dalla, Ally Of Nijjar, Arrested In Canada: Sources

November 10, 2024, 8:20 pm

Khalistani militant and one of the most wanted criminals in the country, Arshdeep Singh alias Arsh Dalla, has been arrested by the Canadian Police on Monday. According to credible sources here, he was arrested after suspected involvement in shootout at Milton town in Canada on either 27 or 28 October.

Information has been received from Indian security agencies about his arrest and the Canadian authorities, particularly, are verifying it, doing inquiries with the HRPS as well. Dalla is an Indian national who is living in Canada with his wife and has several criminal cases registered against him in India.

Dalla is one of the ex-leaders of the Khalistani Tiger Force and likely heir of the slain terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. He, in September, accepted the responsibility for the murder of Congress leader Baljinder Singh Balli, killed at his Moga residence. In a post, Dalla said Balli had broken his life and led to his mother’s detention, which turned on the killing instinct.

Dalla is wanted list on the National Investigation Agency, and he had been accused of planning criminal activities in Punjab from Canada over the past few years. He coordinated many targeted killings in Punjab and coordinated with local gangs, it is reported. Earlier, Punjab Police had busted modules connected with Dalla; the police had seized IEDs, grenades, and other arms and ammunition.

Dalla’s arrest happened when tensions were running high over the alleged attack on a Hindu temple in Canada by Khalistani terrorists. The Indian government called for prosecution of the perpetrators of the attack on November 3 on the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton following the attack.

Relations between India and Canada have remained strained since Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged in September 2023 that India was behind the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a claim that India flatly rejected.

Former Pakistan Captain Ramiz Raja Speaks on Arshdeep Singh’s Performance in T20 World Cup

July 11, 2024, 3:17 pm

India’s left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh finished the T20 World Cup 2024 as the joint highest wicket-taker with 17 wickets, sharing the honor with Afghanistan’s Fazalhaq Farooqi. His impressive performance, highlighted by a crucial spell of 2 for 20 in the final against South Africa at Bridgetown, Barbados, helped India clinch the trophy. Arshdeep’s ability to learn and stay calm under pressure has garnered praise from cricket experts and former players.

India’s journey to victory was marked by an unbeaten run in the tournament, culminating in a thrilling seven-run win over South Africa in the final on June 29. Arshdeep played a pivotal role in the comeback, especially with his tight penultimate over, conceding just four runs. Jasprit Bumrah, who was named the ‘Player of the Tournament’ with 15 wickets, was a key figure, but Arshdeep’s development alongside Bumrah has been noteworthy.

Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja highlighted Arshdeep’s growth and learning from Bumrah, emphasizing his ability to perform without being overshadowed. Raja praised Arshdeep’s clever bowling in high-pressure situations, noting his effective use of slower balls and bouncers. He further said, “Bumrah ke hote hue, ye craft seekh bhi rahe hain, par unse dab nahi rahe hain”. He also remarked on Arshdeep’s confidence and self-belief, which are crucial for his development and contribution to the team.

Raja also lauded the overall improvement in India’s pace-bowling unit over the past decade, attributing it to the continuous enhancement of skills in the domestic circuit. He believes that Arshdeep embodies this progress with his willingness to learn and improve consistently, which is evident in his performances on the international stage.

‘Thank You For Everything’: Arshdeep Singh’s Heartfelt ‘Thank You’ Post For Rahul Dravid Goes Viral

July 3, 2024, 1:19 pm

India pacer Arshdeep Singh’s heartfelt tribute to outgoing India head coach Rahul Dravid has gained widespread attention on social media. His significant contribution helped India secure victory over South Africa in the T20 World Cup final on Saturday, June 29 in Barbados. Arshdeep shared a photograph showing him with the 2018 U-19 World Cup trophy alongside then-coach Dravid on the left, marking a full circle moment in their journey together.

Under Prithvi Shaw’s captaincy and Dravid’s guidance, India had previously clinched the 2018 U-19 World Cup by defeating Australia in the final. Arshdeep played a crucial role in that tournament, taking three wickets across two matches with an impressive economy rate of two.

“2018➡️2024. Thank you for everything coach saab??❤️,” Arshdeep captioned his post.

During the T20 World Cup finals, Arshdeep delivered an outstanding performance, claiming two key wickets including a well-set Quinton de Kock. He followed up with a remarkable 19th over, conceding only four runs, which was crucial after India’s spinners leaked 106 runs in their nine overs.

Arshdeep’s childhood coach Jaswant Rai credited Dravid for helping Arshdeep secure a County Championship deal with Kent. Rai highlighted how Arshdeep’s stint in Kent enhanced his bowling skills, emphasizing variations over length.

Arshdeep emerged as one of the top performers in the T20 World Cup, finishing as the joint-highest wicket-taker alongside Afghanistan’s Rahmanullah Gurbaz with 17 scalps and an economy rate of 7.16. He is set to feature next when India faces Sri Lanka in a limited-overs series starting from July 27.

T20 World Cup: Pak Cricketer Asks Umpire To Keep Their ‘Eyes Open’, Accuses Arshdeep Of Tampering

June 26, 2024, 2:39 pm

Former Pakistan cricket captains Inzamam-ul-Haq and Saleem Malik have raised allegations against Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh and criticized match officials for alleged favoritism following India’s T20 World Cup Super 9 match against Australia. Inzamam suggested that India may have tampered with the ball during the match to aid Arshdeep in achieving reverse swing, a phenomenon typically seen with older balls.

“In the 15th over, we observed reverse swing, which is unusual with a new ball. This indicates that the ball was likely tampered with around the 12th or 13th over,” Inzamam stated during a discussion on 24 News.

Malik echoed these sentiments, expressing dissatisfaction with what he perceives as preferential treatment by umpires towards certain teams. “There is a perception that umpires turn a blind eye to some teams, and India seems to benefit from this. I remember being fined for reporting a similar incident in a match against Pakistan,” Malik remarked.

Inzamam further criticized the hypothetical treatment of Pakistani players in a similar situation, implying that the response would have been more severe. “If Pakistan were in this position, there would be widespread discussion. The fact that Arshdeep’s deliveries exhibited reverse swing suggests manipulation of the ball,” he added.

Meanwhile, Arshdeep Singh has been instrumental for India in the ongoing tournament, leading the team’s wicket-taking charts with impressive performances. Following his standout figures of 3 for 37 against Australia, Arshdeep credited teammate Jasprit Bumrah for creating pressure on opposing batsmen, which he believes contributed to his success.

“I owe a lot to Jassi bhai (Jasprit Bumrah) for his consistent pressure on batters. He concedes very few runs, which forces batsmen to take risks against me. My goal is to bowl my best deliveries, which often results in wickets,” Arshdeep remarked post-match.

With 15 wickets in six matches, Arshdeep Singh currently ranks second in the tournament’s leading wicket-takers list, trailing Afghanistan’s Fazalhaq Farooqi by just one wicket.

June 12, 2024, 8:54 pm

Among the select few bowlers who have achieved this feat previously are Mashrafe Mortaza of Bangladesh, Shapoor Zadran of Afghanistan, and Ruben Trumplemann of Namibia. Mortaza was the first to achieve this feat in 2014, followed by Zadran, and Trumplemann’s notable performances in both 2021 and 2024.

Arshdeep’s achievement not only made headlines in the T20 World Cup arena but also earned him the distinction of being the first Indian bowler to take a wicket on the first ball of a T20I match, further solidifying his place in cricketing history. His outstanding performance showcases his talent and sets a high standard for future Indian bowlers to emulate.

Latest: Harbhajan Singh Calls Kamran Akmal Absurd

June 12, 2024, 11:19 am

Despite Kamran Akmal’s swift apology for his derogatory remarks directed at the Sikh community, specifically targeting Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh during the India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 match in New York on Sunday, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh castigated the former Pakistani wicketkeeper. Harbhajan admonished Akmal, asserting that he should refrain from offending religious sentiments in the future and must refrain from deriding anyone’s faith.

Akmal was part of a discussion panel during the Indian vs Pakistan encounter. The former wicketkeeper-batter took a dig at the Arshdeep, saying, “Kuch bhi ho sakta hai… Dekhe last over karna Arshdeep Singh ne hai. Waise uska rhythm nahi laga. 12 baj gaye hai (Anything can happen. The last over will be bowled by Arshdeep Singh; he hasn’t looked in a great rhythm. And it is already 12.”

Akmal’s comments sparked a massive uproar on social media, and Harbhajan himself took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize the Pak cricketer, tweeting, “You should know the history of Sikhs before you open your filthy mouth.”

Shortly thereafter, Akmal issued an apology on Tuesday. However, Harbhajan, in a subsequent video released on Wednesday, criticized Akmal’s statement as illogical and described it as a behavior characteristic of immaturity, which only an irresponsible individual would engage in.

“This is a very absurd statement and a very childish act that only a ‘Nalaayak’ person can do. Kamran Akmal should understand that there is no need to say anything about anyone’s religion and make fun of it,” said Harbhajan in a video posted by ANI.

#WATCH | Brooklyn, New York: On former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal’s comment over the Sikh community, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh says “This is a very absurd statement and a very childish act that only a ‘Nalaayak’ person can do.

The 44-year-old admonished Akmal, asking him whether he knows the history of Sikhs. “Kamran Akmal should understand that there is no need to say anything about anyone’s religion and make fun of it. I would like to ask Kamran Akmal that do you know the history of Sikhs, who are Sikhs and all the work that Sikhs have done to save your community, your mothers, and sisters. Ask this from your ancestors; at 12 o’clock, the Sikhs used to attack Mughals and rescue your mothers and sisters, so stop talking nonsense,” said Harbhajan, who is currently in the USA as a commentator for the T20 World Cup 2024.

Despite acknowledging Akmal’s apology, Harbhajan cautioned the former cricketer to abstain from uttering similar remarks in the future.

“It is good that he understood so quickly and apologized, but he should never again try to hurt any Sikh or any religion. We respect all religions, whether it is Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism or Christianity…,” added Harbhajan.

Kamran Akmal Apologizes For Offensive Joke On Arshdeep Singh And Sikh Religion

June 11, 2024, 4:36 pm

“My words were inappropriate and disrespectful. I have the utmost respect for Sikhs all over the world and never intended to hurt anyone. I am truly sorry. #Respect #Apology,” Akmal wrote, tagging Harbhajan.

Akmal’s remarks came during the last over when Arshdeep Singh was bowling in Pakistan’s chase of 120. With Pakistan needing 17 runs to win in the final over, Arshdeep executed perfectly, securing a six-run win for India.

“Kuch bhi ho sakta hai… Dekhe last over karna Arshdeep Singh ne hai. Waise uska rhythm nahi laga. 12 baj gaye hai (Anything can happen. The last over will be bowled by Arshdeep Singh; he hasn’t looked in great rhythm. And it is already 12),” Akmal had said on ARY News.

In the video reposted by Harbhajan, Akmal was seen laughing with other panelists on the show. Harbhajan responded angrily to Akmal’s comments.

Lakh di laanat tere Kamraan Akhmal.. You should know the history of sikhs before u open ur filthy mouth. We Sikhs saved ur mothers and sisters when they were abducted by invaders, the time invariably was 12 o’clock . Shame on you guys.. Have some Gratitude @KamiAkmal23 ??? https://t.co/5gim7hOb6f

June 11, 2024, 11:16 am

Ex-Pakistani cricketer Kamran Akmal has apologized to Harbhajan Singh and the Sikh community for his public remarks on Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh on Monday.

While covering the show on India-Pakistan ICC T20 world cup match on ARY news, he commented on Arshdeep’s religion saying, ‘Kuch bhi ho sakta hai… 12 baj gaye hai (Anything can happen. It is already 12).’

As a result, it triggered a widespread outrage among people, also angering former indian spinner Harbhajan Singh, who later slammed Akmal.

Taking to X, he said,

‘Lakh di laanat tere Kamraan Akhmal.. You should know the history of Sikhs before you open your filthy mouth. We Sikhs saved your mothers and sisters when they were abducted by invaders, the time invariably was 12 o’clock. Shame on you…Have some Gratitude.’

— Kamran Akmal (@KamiAkmal23) June 10, 2024

Meanwhile, maintaining their winning streak against Pakistan India has won the match, despite setting a low score for the former.

During the match, star opener Virat Kohli (4) and Rohit Sharma (13), weren’t able to score big. But in the middle of the innings, the partnership between Rishabh Pant along with Axar Patel, managed to stabilize the team after scary start.

However, the lower middle order unfortunately succumbed to pressure for scoring runs on unpredictable New York’s pitch.

Due to Haris Rauf (3/21), Naseem Shah (3/21) and Mohammed Amir’s exceptional bowling, they restricted India to 119 in just 19 overs.

In the second innings, Pakistan made a great start, with Mohammad Rizwan scoring 31 runs off 44 balls, including a boundary and a six, also anchoring one end firmly. However, the momentum shifted with the arrival of Jasprit Bumrah, who took 3 wickets for 14 runs, and Hardik Pandya, who claimed 2 wickets for 24 runs. This resulted in the crucial dismissals of captain Babar Azam (13), Fakhar Zaman (13), Shadab Khan (4), and Iftikhar Ahmed (5).

Despite Naseem Shah’s persistent efforts, Arshdeep Singh’s contribution ensured that India successfully defended its low score.

“Shame On You…”: Harbhajan Singh Slams Kamran Akmal Over Controversial Remark On Arshdeep

June 11, 2024, 1:56 am

Harbhajan Singh criticized Kamran Akmal for his derogatory comments about Indian cricketer Arshdeep Singh during a panel discussion on ARY News. Akmal’s remarks, which referred to Arshdeep’s religion and made insinuations about the match outcome, were met with strong condemnation from Harbhajan. In a post on X, Harbhajan expressed his outrage, emphasizing the need for Akmal to understand Sikh history and show gratitude for their past contributions.

Regarding the match between India and Pakistan, Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first. Despite a challenging pitch, Indian batsmen struggled to build significant partnerships, with star openers Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma failing to make substantial contributions. Rishabh Pant emerged as a standout performer, scoring 42 runs off 31 balls, but the lower middle order faltered under pressure, resulting in India posting a modest total of 119 runs in 19 overs. Pakistan’s bowlers, particularly Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah, excelled, with each taking three wickets.

In their chase, Pakistan adopted a cautious approach, anchored by Mohammed Rizwan’s steady innings of 31 runs off 44 balls. However, India’s bowlers, including Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, struck crucial blows, restricting Pakistan’s progress. Despite a valiant effort by Naseem Shah in the final over, Arshdeep Singh ensured Pakistan fell short by six runs, securing victory for India. Bumrah’s outstanding bowling performance earned him the ‘Player of the Match’ award.

‘Weather is not in our hands, we cannot control’, says Arshdeep Singh

November 29, 2022, 1:28 pm

Ahead of the third ODI between India and New Zealand Indian bowler Arshdeep Singh has said that no one can control the weather.

Earlier second ODI between India and New Zealand was called off due to rain and the third match of the three-game ODI series will take place in New Zealand’s Christchurch.

Meanwhile, to save the series India will try to win the final ODI match. India is down 1-0. The second ODI match was called off after playing 12.5 overs due to rain. It is expected that the third and final match of the series will also be canceled as on 30 November heavy rain is expected.

“The weather is not in our hands, Weather is something we cannot control. So it is important that we give our best whenever we get a chance. If there is a break in the game due to rain, we have to always be mentally and physically prepared for the match to start anytime. It is our endeavor that the process is followed properly and there is no shortage of preparation. And the plans that are made should be executed in the match,” Arshdeep Singh said.

During a pre-match press conference Arshdeep said, “As a bowler, I have not thought much that there is a lot of difference between these two formats. Just like now I am doing attacking bowling in the starting and defending in the last…. my aim is to take wickets for the team. So I have not yet thought that there will be some difference between these two formats. Wherever I get a chance to perform, I will deliver my best.”

Moreover, against New Zealand at Auckland Arshdeep and Umran Malik made their ODI debuts in the first ODI against New Zealand.

“Personally, I am feeling very good that I have made my debut in Sony Day too. Every player has the same aim that he has to represent India. It is my endeavor that whenever I get a chance in the future, I should perform well for the team,” the bowler said.

Talking about his performance Arshdeep said, “Yes it is difficult but the player does not think so. We try to enjoy our time. And then you go on playing well for your team and don’t think that it is difficult. I never thought that I want to become the bowler of the team or want to see myself here after a year. Try to stay in the rhythm: it benefits the better player and the team as well.”

However, in the first match, New Zealand chased down the target of 306 set by India.

Wasim Akram said to Arshdeep, ‘if you think you’re perfect don’t come to me…”

September 20, 2022, 12:58 pm

The Indian team will start its final preparation for the T20 World Cup in the home series against Australia, which begins on Tuesday in Mohali. Mohali is the town where young Indian bowler Arshdeep Singh has spent most of his early cricketing days.Ahead of the start of the series, his coach Jaswant Rai revealed a very interesting story of how Arshdeep was bowled by his idol and Pakistan legend, Wasim Akram, during their recent interaction in the UAE in the Asia Cup.During an interview, Jaswant said that, “Arshdeep told me that he met Akram bhai who told him, ‘Sardarji, you are bowling very well. You are a good bowler. If you think you are perfect, then don’t come to me. If you feel you want to ask me anything or want to learn something from me then you can come whenever you want’. He then told me that when he went to the hotel at night, he kept thinking about that question. He felt that if he didn’t go then Akram would mind and think that that Sardarji seems to know everything. So next day he went to Akram and had a discussion.”While Akram, replying to everyone who criticised Arshdeep for missing a catch during the T20I Aisa Cup match, said, “If social media wants to target or have a go at someone, try me. Muqaabla karna hai to mujhse karo, then I can reply back. I have a very simple theory. If somebody is rude to me, I will be 10 times ruder. If someone will like me or send me a funny message or has a good sense of humour, I will be exactly the same. Having a go at a young kid, your own kid, doesn’t make any sense. I am all for fans and their opinions, but unless and until you haven’t played professional cricket, you don’t know what type of pressures players are going through on and off the field.”

Arshdeep catch drop row: BJP targeting Fact- Checker Zubair ; police complaint filed

September 6, 2022, 3:17 pm

Arshdeep’s catch-drop controversy puts the co-founder of Alt News Desk again in the BJP’s sights.

Trouble started when a BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa filed a complaint against fact checker Mohammed Zubair to the police over his post of screenshots of tweets against Arshdeep.

Zubair has been charged by the BJP leader with inciting hatred towards Arshdeep and Sikhs in India.

Some of the bot accounts, according to Sirsa, were made specifically to spread “hatred against a nationalist and national player, Arshdeep Singh.”

Keep in mind that a troll army accused Arshdeep Singh of being responsible for the team’s failure. After India was defeated by Pakistan in the “Super 4” stage of the Asia Cup, Sirsa said.

Zubair, who was previously detained on June 27 for allegedly hurting religious sensibilities, now has a new case to deal with.
