The franchise announced its decision to suspend Madhu on Wednesday via Twitter. “The Chennai Super Kings Management was not aware of the personal tweet of Dr. Madhu Thottappillil. He has been suspended from his position as the Team Doctor. Chennai Super Kings regrets his tweet which was without the knowledge of the Management and in bad taste," the tweet read.

On Tuesday, as reports emerged that three Indian Army personnel were killed during a face-off with the Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley region in Ladakh the previous night, Madhu had tweeted, "Just curious if the coffins will come back with a “PM Cares’ sticker on them?”

As Madhu's tweet went viral, several Twitter users tagged Chennai Super Kings demanding an explanation. Some users even demanded that he be sacked from his position in the franchise.
