Harbhajan roughed up

GUWAHATI, MARCH 18. Ace off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was roughed up by police at the team hotel here, prompting the Indian team to hold an emergency meeting to reconsider playing tomorrow's one-day match against Zimbabwe.

The team, however, decided to go ahead with the match after senior officials apologised for the incident.

The team manager, Sunil Khanna, said Kamal Sharma, a Delhi- based photographer, had come to meet Harbhajan for a photo session but was prevented by securitymen from entering the hotel. When the off-spinner himself came out to take Sharma in, both were manhandled by the police.
