Bangalore: Cricketer
Harbhajan Singh on Wednesday found himself in a fresh controversy after he allegedly hit out at a cameraman at the Bangalore International Airport before leaving for the tri-series in Sri Lanka.
The feisty off-spinner, who often finds himself in the news for the wrong reasons, allegedly pushed back a cameraman after his camera hit him on the head while he was taking his luggage out from a camera before entering the airport.
Harbhajan reportedly gave an angry stare at the cameraman even as a security personnel was trying to push back the cameramen who had surrounded the cricketer.
The 29-year-old Punjab spinner has a rather dubious disciplinary record, having been penalised for various offences during his career.
Harbhajan was accused of racially abusing Australian all-rounder
Andrew Symonds in Sydney and the 2007 'monkey-gate' incident snowballed into a major crisis, threatening to tear apart the cricketing world.
In the same year, Harbhajan was banned for the remaining
Indian Premier League matches after the infamous 'slap-gate', which saw him slapping his India teammate
S Sreesanth in Mohali.
After the 'slap-gate' incident, Harbhajan had promised to mend his way and keep a check on his temper.
