Shoaib picks up fight with cops
LAHORE: Star Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar
has a knack of inviting trouble. He did that again on Friday when he
misbehaved with a senior security official at the Gaddafi Stadium.
He, later, apologised when told he could be booked. The issue was
amicably settled but could have taken a bitter turn had he not said
sorry, the security official said.
Shoaib, whose love for fast bikes and cars is well known, has got
two 600cc Ducati bikes. He was all alone in the Pakistani
dressing-room when one of his London-based friends, Obeda, came over
to the Gaddafi Stadium on Friday afternoon with one of the bikes and
a convertible Mercedes.
The Assistant Superintendent of Police of Gurberg area, Mohammed Ali
objected to the bikes and the car being brought into the stadium and
parked just a few yards from the playing area and the
dressing-rooms.
He later told: "No unauthorised vehicles can be parked so close to
the players' dressing room. Only the vehicles of top PCB officials
can get into the ground and that too not this close. And players
know it. Even the vehicles of Punjab chief minister and governor are
parked outside."
