After facing a lot of embarrassment due to the security breach, the Services authorities today swung to action.
"The Services authorities did not allow any general spectator inside the ground. There was a double lock at the entrance gate which was unmanned during the security breach. Only journalists with valid BCCI central accreditation card were allowed. In fact, one spectator jokingly produced his Aadhar Card at the gate," a DDCA official told PTI today.
Girish was detained and according to Delhi Police sources he was not in the best of "mental health".
In fact, a twitter handle run by one Vernika Verma, who claimed to be Girish's ex wife apologised to the Delhi skipper Ishant for his ex husband's irresponsible act.

"I deeply apologise on behalf of my ex-husband. Shocked to see this Really sorry," she tweeted.
"Technically, we can also play at The Feroz Shah Kotla as if we don't use the centre strip. But the decision will depend on our position in the points table after the Karnataka away game. Even Palam is in contention," the DDCA official informed.
"We have not yet booked the Palam ground but this one-off incident will not be the reason to shift the game. A lot will depend whether we will get Ishant Sharma for the match or not. A note has been sent to the Indian team management to release Ishant if he is not in the playing XI for the first Test in Kolkata," he added.
