Meerut, May 16: : India pacer Praveen Kumar had to apologise to a local doctor for allegedly man-handling him following a dispute, which was reported to the police in Meerut.

According to Sadar Bazar police, Shantanu, a physician with Civil Lines Subharti Hospital, has accused Praveen of beating him up under the influence of alcohol after his car splashed water on the cricketer.

Praveen was there in connection with obtaining an Arm's license. The doctor said Praveen, who was accompanied by his friends, felt that it was a deliberate attempt to splash water on him and picked up fight.

"I had gone to purchase glasses to a shop at P L Sharma Road yesterday, when some water splashed on Praveen and his friends, who were standing by the roadside," Shantanu said.

"When I was purchasing glasses, Praveen and his friends reached there and started man-handling me with allegation that I intentionally did it.

"They were under the influence of alcohol and they also broke some glasses in the shop to irk the shopkeeper and they reported the matter to police, who called Praveen. Praveen then apologised for his actions. I am not taking legal action because nation's pride is associated with Praveen as he represents the country in cricket," he added.

The Indian cricket players are showing the world how badly behaved they are, I only wish they had the COURAGE to try some fighting while they were in Australia, not only would they have been beaten in the cricket but they would of been beaten up.
