MUMBAI, Feb 22: As the news about Harmeet Singh drove his purple Hyundai car into platform no. 1 at Andheri Station in Mumbai on Monday, another cricketer having the same name became anxious in Punjab.
"Is there any newspaper in Mumbai with my picture on it ?", Harmeet Singh Bansal, speaking exclusively over his mobile from Mohali, asked on Tuesday morning.
The 30-year old Harmeet Singh's anxiety was understandable. "When this lad (Harmeet Singh) was also in news for some other reasons, the people mistook it as if I was involved and my photograph was published", he said.
In July 2013, the Indian cricket board had suspended Harmeet Singh pending spot-fixing investigations. However, he was relieved two months later.
"I have known Harmeet since the days when we were playing IPL together", the Punjab's Harmeet added.
Jodhpur-born Harmeet Singh, who played for Deccan Chargers and Kingl XI Punjab also owns a car in his city. On asked what driving advice would he give to the 5-year younger Harmeet, the senior Harmeet says, "I have not given a thought on this". He refused to say further.
Harmeet Singh had not waited long for applying a driving license. The 1992-born Harmeet was passed the eligibility age of 18 years in September 2010 and within two months got the Driving License from RTO office (Andheri) on 11th November 2010. His D/L (no. MH02 20100152631) is valid till 10-11-2030.
The car of the man in news has been retained by the Railway Protection Force (RPF). "The car mechanic will be asked to examine the condition of the car and its brakes. His certificate will be very useful in filing a case against the player", the RPF official, Krishna Chand Yadav, speaking exclusively said.
"Harmeet was produced before the Magistrate on Monday and we asked for his custody.However, the magistrate (A.A.Panchbhai) granted him bail as it was a bailable offence", he said.
Harmeet was represented by the lawyers-Akhilesh Upadhyay and his junior Sanjay Pande.
