CHANDIGARH: A senior Punjab Police officer on Sunday lodged a complaint against Kings XI Punjab co-owner Ness Wadia for allegedly publicly insulting and using derogatory language against him during Friday’s IPL match between the Punjab team and Deccan Chargers at PCA stadium at Mohali.

Mohali police chief Ranbir Singh Khatra lodged a complaint with Mohali deputy commissioner that Wadia had used “insulting” language on him.

He also alleged in the same complaint that IPL commissioner Lalit Modi was also found smoking in the Long Room of the PCA stadium in an earlier IPL match.

Expressing displeasure at the treatment meted out to him by Wadia, Khatra said, “What hurt me the most is when Wadia said he didn’t want to talk to small and mean people.”

Khatra also alleged in his complaint that IPL commissioner Lalit Modi was also found smoking in the Long Room of the stadium in an earlier match of the IPL held at Mohali.

Ragarding Modi, Khatra said, “I was passing by when I noticed Modi smoking and told him that this is a public place and such a behaviour is not acceptable.”

Khatra said that DDR had been registered against Modi at Mohali police station in this connection.

Narrating the incident in his complaints, Khatra alleged that Ness Wadia had meet him at the reception counter of PCA on Friday and alleged that Mohali Police was selling match tickets in black market.

Khatra said he reasoned with Wadia that there was no question of the police indulging in such an act when the stadium on that day was half empty and tickets were freely available at the ticket counter.

“I told Wadia that IPL people were also manning the entry gates. However, he launched verbal assault on me using derogatory language against the administration and police in particular causing annoyance to me in front of public,” he wrote in his complaint.

Khatra said Wadia accused him and his cops of stealing his liquor and T shirts in the previous match.

Khatra said after he asked Wadia to lodge a formal complaint of what he had said, he (Wadia) started shouting at him.

Punjab Cricket Association President I S Bindra too appeared on the scene and tried to pacify Wadia, Khatra wrote in his complaint.

Khatra said he has forwarded a copy of the complaint to Punjab DGP and state home secretary.
