Siddharth Mallya, son of RCB's former owner Vijay Mallya, expressed his displeasure after the IPL 2025 and posted a video on social media to slam the BCCI and the tournament's governing body.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru recently lifted the IPL 2025 title, defeating the Punjab Kings by just 6 runs in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. After 18 long years of heartbreaks and near misses, the elusive trophy finally found its way to Bengaluru.

The victory was especially emotional for Virat Kohli, the franchise's talisman, the team's loyal fanbase, and the ownership group that stood by the side through thick and thin. Notably, Virat has been with RCB since 2008 and came close to the title win but fell short multiple times.

Even Siddharth Mallya joined in the celebrations by posting a video on Instagram to mark the moment. However, the video was later removed by the platform due to copyright infringement.

And in a video, Siddharth Mallya explained the issue he faced. Not just the video, Sid Mallya was also restricted from engaging on the social media platform.

"For some reason, Instagram decided to take the video down and proceeded to ban me from interacting on the app," said Mallya.

Siddharth mentioned that the copyright claim didn't come from Instagram, but it was planned by the BCCI and IPL, who perhaps raised the issue and made the social media company remove the video. "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 had 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 it, and it's sad on the part of IPL. Such is life," he added.

Notably, Siddharth had shared a broadcast clip in the background, which was being played during the celebration. That was the possible reason that perhaps raised the copyright infringement from BCCI's part.
