Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir is not one to mince words on spotting anything wrong. This time, the Delhi cricketer has expressed his anger on the attack on former Indian cricketer and DDCA selector Amit Bhandari.

Bhandari was attacked during U-23 team trials at St. Stephen’s ground in Kashmere Gate. Bhandari was there as the chairman of selection committee and was supposed to find the probables for Syed Mushtaq Ali championship.


Gambhir said, “Disgusted to see this happen right in the heart of the Capital. This can’t slip under the carpet and I will personally ensure it doesn’t. To begin with I am calling for a life ban from all cricket for the player who orchestrated this attack post his non-selection.”

 

Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag aslo reacted to the attack on Amit Bhandari. Sehwag said, “The attack on Delhi selector Amit Bhandari for not picking a player is a new low and I am hopeful that stringent action will be taken against the culprit and adequate measures will be taken to avoid such incidents.”

 

"We have arrested Anuj Dheda and his accomplice Naveen from their hideout. Efforts are on to arrest other accomplices," the DCP said.
