Four persons, including a woman, who were among the spectators at the final India-Australia cricket one-day international match at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai were detained for alleged "misbehaviour".
The police refused to say if it was a case of racial abuse.
"We have booked the four under Section 110 (behaving indecently in public) of the Bombay Police Act for misbehaviour," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone I) Brijesh Singh said.
Singh, however, chose not to elaborate upon the alleged misbehaviour and also did not comment when asked if the fans were booked for passing any racial slur.
