Will Riyan Parag Jailed For Vaping: Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Riyan Parag is in big trouble during IPL 2026. Last Tuesday (April 28), during the match played against Punjab Kings, Ryan was allegedly seen vaping in the dressing room. Now the question is arising whether the Rajasthan captain will be jailed in this case or will he be banned?
We are talking about jail or ban because e-cigarettes have been banned in India since 2019. Under The Prohibition of Electronic Cigarettes Act, 2019, possessing, selling and using e-cigarettes is completely banned in India. There is a provision for punishment for this in Indian law. For the first violation, imprisonment of up to one year and a fine of up to Rs 1 lakh can be imposed. Repeated offenses can result in a jail term of up to 3 years and a fine of Rs 5 lakh.
What do the rules of IPL say?
According to reports, BCCI has banned all tobacco related products in the dressing room. Therefore, vaping in the dressing room will also be a crime. In such a situation, BCCI can also impose fine on any player or support staff.
official confirmation pending
In the video that went viral on social media, it was seen that Riyan Parag was vaping while sitting in the dressing room. However, the video has not been officially confirmed. Whether the video is true or it has been made in some way, no official statement has come from IPL or BCCI on this matter. Now it will be interesting to see what decision is taken in this matter.

Let us tell you that this is the first such case in the history of IPL when a player has been seen scumming in the dressing room. Although a few days ago, a viral video claimed that Gujarat Titans fast bowler Kagiso Rabada was smoking a cigarette, but he was seen sitting in an open space. Rabada’s video also could not be officially confirmed.
