Yuvraj Singh’s father arrested after late-night brawl

August 25, 2014

Singhs fatherPanchkula, Aug 25: Haryana police on Sunday night arrested Yograj Singh, father of cricketer Yuvraj Singh, in a case of late-night brawl over a car parking in Panchkula town.

Yograj, a former cricketer who has also worked as an actor in Punjabi movies, was held on late Sunday night following the violent clash between a group of his friends and NRI relatives and their neighbours.

Yograj and his friend allegedly attacked a former deputy superintendent of police (DSP) and his two sons.

Along with Yograj, Panchkula police have arrested four more people including former cricketer's friend Bhupinder Singh, former Chandigarh police DSP Ashanand and his two sons Sumit Nand and Sunil Narang, both advocates.

Yograj was recently treated for the cancer of vocal chords.

"We have registered cross FIRs against both the parties as it was a case of clash and both the groups attacked each other," said inspector Baljeet, SHO of sector 5 police station in Panchkula.

Police said that Bhupinder, the friend of Yograj, lives right in front of the family of former DSP in sector 2 of Panchkula and have had arguments over parking in the past too.

Police said that Yograj's NRI cousin Kuljeet Kaur, 50, and her son Aaron, 28, and daughter Tanya Kaur, 25, a doctor in England, who have come to India on vacation, were staying at Bhupinder's house in sector 2.

The trouble started on Sunday night after Bhupinder returned to his house along with the relatives of Yograj after attending birthday party of ex-cricketer's 12-year-old daughter Amy in latter's house in neighbouring Manimajra town of Chandigarh.

As Bhupinder started parking his car, the DSP along with his two sons raised an objection and soon the heated arguments turned into a scuffle, said police.

Bhupinder, in the meantime, phoned Yograj, who reached his house accompanied by his bodyguards and allegedly attacked the ex-DSP and his two sons.

Police said sharp-edged weapons were used in the brawl and Bhupinder along with Kuljeet Kaur, Aaron and Tanya Kaur suffered injuries and were treated at the government hospital.

Police said Tanya has also levelled allegations of molestation against Ashanand, Sumit Nand and Sunil Narang.

According to SHO Baljeet, a case under sections 148 (rioting with weapons), 149 (unlawful assembly), 323 (causing injuries), 452 (house trespass), 506 (criminal intimidation) has been registsred against Yograj and Bhupinder and another case under sections 323 (causing injuries), 506 (criminal intimidation), 34 (criminal act done by several persons with common intention) of the IPC has been registered against the ex-DSP and his two sons.

The five accused would be produced in a Panchkula court later on Monday afternoon, added SHO Baljeet.

Aukland, Feb 5: Striker Navneet Kaur scored a brace to guide the Indian women's hockey team to a convincing 3-0 win over New Zealand in the last game of its five-match tour here on Wednesday.

Navneet found the net in the 45th and 58th minutes, while Sharmila scored a field goal in the 54th minute as India drew curtains on the New Zealand tour on a bright note.

After a goalless opening two quarters, Navneet finally broke the deadlock for India in the 45th minute.

Sharmila then doubled the lead when she struck a powerful shot past the New Zealand goalkeeper in the 54th minute. Navneet found the net again just two minutes from the final hooter with a beautiful field strike.

India began the tour by thrashing New Zealand Development squad 4-0 before suffering close 1-2 and 0-1 defeats to the home senior team.

In penultimate game of the tour, skipper Rani's lone strike handed India a 1-0 win over Great Britain.

"...I am happy we produced three goals against New Zealand in the last match. This tour gave us a good insight about where we need to improve and one of the things is to create faster play than we do now," said India's chief Coach Sjoerd Marijne.

Commenting on his side's performance during the tour, Marijne said, "Sometimes we tend to keep the ball too long on the stick and then we create pressure. We need to avoid that by passing faster.

"On the defence side, we need to be a bit more calmer and need to improve our tackling. We will have a four week camp after a short break when we return home and we will be working on these points."

The Indian team will return home on February 7.

The matches will be played across three venues at Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah as travelling here by road is easier and bio-secure environment can be maintained," he added.

Hampshire, Jul 31: David Willey's maiden five-wicket haul guided England to a six-wicket victory over Ireland in the first ODI here on Friday.

With this win, the hosts have taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.

Chasing a small target of 173 runs, England got off to a bad start as opener Jonny Bairstow was given LBW in the third over, bowled by Andy McBrine. Jason Roy was then joined by James Vince and the duo added 22 runs on the board before the former was dismissed.

Craig Young then got hold of Vince, who was caught behind after scoring 25 runs. Sam Billings and Tom Banton then took the charge of the chase but the latter too was caught behind which ended his 11-run innings.

Banton's dismissal brought skipper Eoin Morgan on the field. Billings and Morgan played stunning innings and kept scoring boundaries. Morgan struck a scintillating six on the last bowl of the 28th over to take England over the line. Morgan scored 36 runs while Billings played a knock of 67 runs.

Earlier, after being asked to bat first, Ireland witnessed a poor start as Paul Stirling was dismissed in the very first over of the innings, bowled by Willey. Andy Balbirnie then joined Gareth Delany but Willey struck again in his next over, removing Balbirnie.

Delany then played furiously and smashed three consecutive boundaries to Saqib Mahmood in the fourth over. However, the fall of wickets did not stop as England took three wickets in quick succession. Mahmood bowled Harry Tector while Delany and Lorcan Tucker were sent back to the pavilion by Willey.

Kevin O'Brien and Curtis Campher then took the charge and played cautiously, taking their struggling side over the 50-run mark. Adil Rashid got hold of O'Brien (22) in the 22nd over before Simranjit Singh was run out in the same over.

Andy McBrine was the next batsman and he played brilliantly along with Campher, who went on to complete his half-century. Both formed a 66-run partnership before McBrine (40) was dismissed by Tom Curran.

Campher remained unbeaten on 59 but failed to find a partner as England bundled out Ireland on 172 runs.

The second ODI between both teams will be played on Saturday.
