The MCA's managing committee will meet tomorrow for emergency meeting where a final decision will be taken on a proposal to ban Khan from entering the Wankhede Stadium as both parties accused each other of misbehaviour that provoked the brawl.

Khan categorically denied that he was drunk and claimed that the scuffle broke out after MCA officials manhandled his kids who he had come to pick after the IPL match between KKR and Mumbai Indians. MCA officials, who have lodged a police complaint against the actor, however, gave a different version.

"The president (Vilasrao Deshmukh) has asked us to convene the MCA managing committee meeting urgently tomorrow. The proposal to ban Shah Rukh Khan will be the only item on the agenda and after a decision is taken it will be sent to the Cricket Board formally," informed MCA secretary Nitin Dalal.

 

The Bollywood star had an altercation with the security and officials of the association after the Knight Riders' thumping victory, according to MCA treasurer Ravi Savant.

"He misbehaved and abused the MCA security personnel as well as MCA officials, including our president Vilasrao Deshmukh, after the IPL match (between KKR and Mumbai Indians). We have decided to ban him for life from entering the stadium in future," said Savant, who alleged that the actor was in a totally inebriated state.

Within days of a TV sting operation that implicated five players in spot-fixing, the cash-rich T20 league was hit by another furore last night with one of the IPL's franchise owners in the spotlight. MORE
