Manoj Prabhakar's guard attacked

New Delhi: A security guard at the residence of former cricket all-rounder Manoj Prabhakar in South Delhi, was allegedly manhandled by a group of hooligans in the wee hours today.

According to the guard Kanshi Ram Sharma, seven persons approached him at 2:15 am (IST) and enquired about Prabhakar and "threatened to kill me and my boss."

Sharma said when he tried to blow his whistle, the miscreants beat him before fleeing.

Sharma has registered a complaint with the police. The police officials said "we are looking into the matter."

The attack comes nearly a month after a group of Shiv Sainiks pelted stones at a beauty clinic run by Prabhakar's wife in south Delhi protesting against the cricketer's alleged involvement in match-fixing.

"This is the beginning of our crusade against corruption. The corrupt are traitors and they should be hanged," Sena's Delhi unit Chief Jai Bhagwan Goyal had said at that time.

When Police was asked whether the hooligans could be from Delhi Unit of Shiv Sena, they said "we are probing that angle also".
