Mumbai, May 17: Bollywood star and Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan today lashed out at the Maharashtra Cricket Association alleging that some of the MCA security officials pushed around his children, abused him and became "extremely aggressive".
Speaking to mediapersons, Shah Rukh Khan ruled out tendering any apology to the MCA. "No, no, they should apologize to me. They were extremely high-handed."
Giving his version of the Wankhede stadium brawl last night, SRK said, he had not gone there to watch the match.
"I had only gone to pick up my children. After the match, the girls were about to return, when some securitymen touched them, and physically manhandled them. That's when I asked them not to touch the girls.
"One of the officials, a short-statured person, whom I saw speaking on TV about this incident, began abusing me. He first made remarks in Marathi. I asked him to speak in Hindi. That's when he used abusive words. As I confronted him, he hid behind other security officials."
Shah Rukh Khan denied that he was under the influence of alcohol. "I don't drink."
Asked whether he himself used abusive words, SRK said: "Gussa mein kuch na kuch to kaha hi hoga(I might have said something out of anger)"
"I'm not a guy to show off. But the behaviour of the officials was completely unpardonable. I told an IPL official to call the stadium head, and he said, we will call him".
"Personally, I found it was expremely disturbing as they were physically manhandling and pushing the girls, some of age as less as 13. It's unpardonable."
The Bollywood star said, "of late, there has been a tendency among people to target celebrities. It happened to me and several other actors too. I only said, don't touch the girls. I meet my fans all the time, on Saturdays and Sundays".
Meanwhile, in a written complaint filed with the Marine Lines police station, the Mumbai Cricket Association has alleged that Shah Rukh Khan was in "an inebriated state and he was openly abusing MCA and BCCI officials".
The complaint says: "...Shah Rukh Khan and Morani brothers, his private security, and other accompanying him entered the ground wuithout any proper accreditation alongwith 15/20 boys, where a young girl wished him while passing by, Shah Rukh Khan abused her in most dirty and vulgar language (like f**k off).
"By the time, MCA watchman came forward and asked everybody to vacate the stadium, Shah Rukh Khan charged on him and hit the MCA watchman Mr Dalvi and continued to abuse him in vulgar language like f**k MCA, f**k BCCI, mera kya ukhadna hai, ukhad lo".
"Mr Shah Rukh Khan was in an inebriated state and continued to abuse in vulgar and filthy language. ....
"You are requested to take necessary legal action against Mr Shah Rukh Khan and his associates for the above illegal acts", says the letter addressed to Senior Inspector of Police, Marine Lines police station. The letter is signed by Nitin Dalal, joint secretary, MCA.
