KARACHI: The captain of Pakistan’s blind cricket team, Zeeshan Abbasi, was rushed to a local hospital in the Indian city of Bangalore after consuming acid at the team’s breakfast table, Indian and Pakistani media reported.

According to latest reports, Abbasi, who is leading the team in the Blind World Twenty20 underway in the Indian city, was now stable and had been discharged from the hospital.

Pakistan’s manager was left disgusted by the act and questioned the tournament’s security arrangements. He also rubbished some reports in the Indian media that had termed the incident “an accident.”

“Mineral water bottles were given to us everyday; the acid was in one of those bottles. How can this be a mistake? How was it on the breakfast table?” he questioned.

Chairman Blind Cricket Council Sultan Shah, too, expressed his shock at the incident which came a day after Pakistan beat India by eight wickets.

“We are blind, how can we see bottle distilled/mineral water? How can a 5star hotel do this? It’s deliberate,” Shah told ZeeNews.

Shah said a thorough investigation into the incident was underway and the hotel’s management were being questioned.

According to Shah, there was a thorough investigation underway while Pakistan Cricket Board spokesman Nadeem Sarwar expressed his concern over the incident and said the PCB was in constant contact with Indian officials on the matter.

According to the Hindu, G.K. Mahantesh General, Secretary of the Cricket Association for the Blind in India (CABI) and founder of the Samarthanam Turst for the Disabled, who are organizing the 10-day tournament, termed the incident as “shocking and embarrassing”. He said: “All players are important to us. The Movenpick Hotel have promised an internal inquiry and we await the results.” Mr Mahantesh added the “strictest of actions” will be taken against those responsible for the incident.

The report also quoted Neha Gairola, Senior Food and Beverage Manager of the hotel, as saying that Abassi had consumed ‘diluted soap solution’ which had ‘ínadvertantly’ been left on the table by the cleaning staff. Gairola added that the services of the person responsible had been terminated

A cowardly act.

Mineral bottles are given to us everyday but when we lose a cricket match we sometimes put acid in those bottles and place them on the foreign team captain's breakfast table.

Told you all.


The Bhartis wanted to portray it as an accident.

 

[notsuperstitious]

A little soap water never killed anyone, except germs. The hotel has fired those involved and apologised to pakistani team, surely they have lost business from indian cricket board. There is nothing more here, except for kindergarten drama queens.

Even after the facts are clear now some posters keep barking, they need to drink some soap water.

in meethi meethi baton ka koi faida nahi mere bhai. Dont be so diplomatic.

How did soap solution get converted to acid???
How come the Pakistani player couldn't recognize the soap solution by the smell? Most blind people have their other senses like listening and smelling more advanced than normal.

Coward Indians can't even admit this mistake and are making up accident excuses. Trying to assassinate a blind man, how low.

citric acid is also an acid, so why dont we die when we consume it
what matters is the acidity. if someone wanted to kill him, they would have given him hydrogen sulphide. dead in seconds.

wheras this blind guy came out of the hospital in 2 hours. use your brains dummy
