Indian Premier League Chairman Rajiv Shukla commenting over the speculations to ban Bollywood star and Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) from entering Wankhede cricket stadium after his alleged scuffle with security guards, said that final decision of prohibiting SRK would be taken only after getting the version of all those involved.
"So far, no decision has been taken on the ban," Shukla, who is also vice president of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), told reporters. He added that he would be talking to the Mumbai Cricketers Association (MCA) and would also take Shah Rukh's version before giving a reaction.
"The decision of a ban is always 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 said.
As it is noted that MCA officials have registered a police complaint in Mumbai's Marine Drive police station for King Khan's alleged misbehaviour Wednesday night at the stadium with the security guards.
Shahrukh Khan is accused to misbehave with a security guard and pushing him back when his franchise Kolkota Knight Riders (KKR) won the match against Mumbai Indians (MI). He was in drunken stage. Moreover, when MCA officials tried to intervene, he is said to have abused them.
Commenting on the issue, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and former cricketer Kirti Azad said: "First of all, it is very hard to believe that Shah Rukh Khan can go there (Wankhede stadium) in a drunken state. I feel sorry for the cricket loving country that these kinds of thing are happening in IPL. It is disgraceful and unfortunate."
