Punjab Police Senior Superintendent of Police Mr RS Khatra and Ness Wadia. It is learnt that the Punjab Police Officer has filed a complaint against Ness Wadia for using derogatory language with him and alleging the Punjab Police of selling tickets for IPL matches and allowing unofficial entry into the stadium to hundreds of persons without tickets. Ness Wadia is also learnt to have accused the Punjab Police of stealing liquor bottles and T Shirts from the Punjab team.IPL is a private body and the deployment of such a large police force for security duties can anytime come under the scanner. Approximately 1000 police personnel are known to have been deployed in the Mohali Stadium. However the Punjab Police is already one up on this issue. They are learnt to have already floated a bill of Rs 18 Million as charges for security. In a letter to the Mohali Deputy Commissioner the Punjab Police has asked for the payment of the charges by the PCA and IPL immediately. They have also stated that no security will be provided for the next match if the charges were not paid.
In view of the security situation in the country this is a fine recipe for disaster. The issue needs to be resolved above parochial interests of both the parties in the interest of the game and the nation.
