He joined a list of cricketers and celebrities from other walks of life, who have voiced disgust and anger towards the Bengaluru incidents which had sparked nationwide outrage.

Earlier, India captain Virat Kohli and Delhi batsman Gautam Gambhir spoke out against the incident.

Regarded as one of India's safest metropolitan, Bengaluru was shamed on the first day of 2017 as a huge mob molested women amid heavy security arrangement.

Even as the nation was grappling with the unprecedented mass molestation, a video of two scooter-borne men molesting a girl near her home in Bengaluru on New Year's eve had emerged to the shock of everyone.

Pathan, 32, was blessed with a baby boy on December 19 last year. The all-rounder named his son after Pakistan’s legendary pacer Imran Khan.
