Shobhaa De Tweet On Olympics

Daulatram Jogawat, an inspector with Madhya Pradesh police at whom columnist Shobhaa De had poked fun over his obese physical condition in a tweet, is undergoing a series of tests at a hospital here to determine the diseases he suffers from and if bariatric surgery could help him, a statement said.

Two days ago, columnist Shobhaa De's tweet about an overweight policeman caused massive uproar on social media. Now, a 58-year-old policeman from Madhya Pradesh, photographed in the tweet, has expressed his unhappiness over the incident.

Columnist Shobhaa De's Olympic tweet that upset so many people some days ago isn't going to be forgotten any time soon. Twitter is reserving some of its breath for rejoinders to her posts about badminton star PV Sindhu, who prevailed over Japan's Nozomi Okuhara in the Olympic women's singles semi-final in Rio on Thursday.

Only the frivolous will find it humourous, because when the chips are down and all that you have worked for in the last four years comes to nought, like Jitu Rai, Abhinav Bindra or any of the others in Rio, then it is our duty to remind our sportsmen and women that they are still champions and will always be.
