#1 Ravindra Jadeja – for clicking selfie with a lion

Indian cricketer was fined 20,000 rupees for posting photos of him and his wife posing in front of endangered Asiatic lions at the Gir National Park. Officials at the park said they imposed a fine as "the cricketer flouted the rules", according to which no visitor in the park is allowed to leave their vehicles and step down.

Coincidentally, Jadeja posted those photos only a few days after Gujarat forestry officials had warned of the dangers that can be caused by taking selfies with lions. The Gir National Park, on the western side of Gujarat, is the only place where Asiatic lions remain in the wild.
