Manoj Prabhakar's guard attacked
A security guard at the residence of former cricket all-rounder Manoj Prabhakar in south Delhi
was allegedly manhandled by a group of hooligans in the wee
hours of Saturday.
According to the guard, Kanshi Ram Sharma, seven persons
approached him at 2:15 am and enquired about Prabhakar. "They threatened to kill me and my boss," he said, adding the miscreants beat him before fleeing when he tried to blow his whistle.
Sharma has registered a complaint with the police.
A police official said, "We are looking into the
matter."
The attack comes nearly a month after a group of Shiv
Sainiks pelted stones at a beauty clinic run by Prabhakar's
wife in south Delhi, protesting against the cricketer's alleged
involvement in match-fixing.
"This is the beginning of our crusade against corruption.
The corrupt are traitors and they should be hanged," Sena's
Delhi unit chief Jai Bhagwan Goyal had said at that time.
When the police was asked whether the hooligans could be from
the Delhi unit of Shiv Sena, they said: "We are probing that angle
also."
