June 16, 2009 12:39 pm - Cricket fans in the Jharkhand capital Monday burnt Indian cricket captain and city boy Mahendra Singh Dhoni in effigy to protest India s exit from the ICC Twenty20 world cup following successive defeats in matches against the West Indies and England.
Police patrolling near the under-construction house of Dhoni at Harmu road in the city has been beefed up. There were fears that angry fans could also attack it, like 2007 when Indiawas ousted from the world cup. The protesters had demolished the boundary wall, but after India s victory in the Twenty20 tournament the same year, cricket fans had come to rebuild the wall.
