Ex-ACP Calls Shah Rukh Khan’s 2012 Wankhede Row a Miscommunication

The retired officer casts the clash as a preventable mix-up resolved by police escort.

Overview

  • The former Mumbai police ACP, in a Friday interview, said the 2012 Wankhede confrontation stemmed from miscommunication and that he escorted Shah Rukh Khan out to calm it.
  • After Kolkata Knight Riders beat Mumbai Indians, a guard blew a whistle as Khan played with children, tempers rose as officials stepped in, and viral video showed him arguing with security.
  • MCA officials alleged he tried to enter the playing area after the match, was intoxicated, and abused staff, and they filed a complaint at the Marine Drive police station.
  • Khan denied wrongdoing and said he reacted after children were allegedly mishandled and a remark he found religiously offensive, while admitting he lost his temper.
  • The Mumbai Cricket Association banned him from its venues for five years after the fracas, then lifted the ban after three years, so no restriction remains today.
