views 3179Kolkata Knight Riders' co-owner and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was today banned for life from Wankhede Stadium after getting into an alleged scuffle with Mumbai Cricket Association officials as the IPL continued to be dogged by controversies.
The MCA officials have lodged a police complaint against Khan for his alleged misbehaviour at the stadium and decided to ban him for life from entering the premises. "We have lodged a complaint against him at the Marine Drive Police station (for his alleged misbehaviour against MCA officials)," informed MCA secretary Nitin Dalal.
The Bollywood star had an altercation with the security and officials of the association after the Knight Riders had swamped Mumbai Indians, according to MCA treasurer Ravi Savant. "He misbehaved and abused the MCA security personnel as well as MCA officials, including our president Vilasrao Deshmukh, after the IPL match (between KKR and Mumbai Indians). We have decided to ban him for life from entering the stadium in future," said Savant, who alleged that the actor was in a totally inebriated state.
Reacting to the controversy, a top KKR official told The Indian Express, "Shah Rukh entered the stadium with some kids and just wanted to play a round of tennis ball cricket with them. Surprisingly, the MCA authorities were very rude. The guards shoved the kids and some very provocative words were used against Shah Rukh".
But there was confusion over whether the actor has actually been banned with IPL Chairman Rajiv Shukla saying a final decision on the matter would only be taken after getting the version of all the involved parties. "I will take the version of the MCA, Shah Rukh Khan and the police before talking about the issue," he told reporters in New Delhi.
"The decision to ban is taken by the Working Committee so I will speak to MCA President Vilasrao Deshmukh on this. I have to take the version of all the parties involved and then speak," Shukla added.
