Former Indian cricketer Amit Bhandari attacked by goons during U23 trials
New Delhi, Feb 11 (IBNS): Former Indian fast bowler Amit Bhandari was attacked by goons led allegedly by a Delhi Under-23 cricketer on Monday, media reports said.
Bhandari, who is currently the selector for Delhi, was reportedly attacked when he was conducting U-23 trials at St. Stephen’s College grounds in New Delhi.
According to reports, carrying hockey sticks in their hands some men entered the stadium and attacked Bhandari for not shortlisting the player for the trials.
Bhandari was rushed to a hospital for treatment.
One person has been arrested in connection with the incident so far.
CricketNext reported that Bhandari needed six stiches to his head and has also fractured his leg.
“Dedha has annoyed that he has not been picked for the Under-23 side. He was threatening Bhandari for a few days now. But it’s shocking the way they have attacked Bhandari. We have filed a police complaint already and strict action will be taken against all of them,” Delhi cricket committee member Siddharth Verma told CricketNext.
