Dhoni fan detained for trying to enter his home

Ranchi: An engineering student and his driver were detained on Sunday for allegedly trying to forcibly enter the home of Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni here. "The youth - Gourav - was detained after the security personnel of Harmu Housing Colony where Dhoni lives informed the police that a youth and the driver of his car were demanding to meet Dhoni though he is now touring Australia," Ranjit Prasad, Superintendent of Police, Ranchi said.

On being told about Dhoni`s stay in Australia, they demanded the cricketer`s contact number and wanted to speak to him, the security personnel told the police.

Gourav is a student of an engineering college at Simoga in Karnataka. He came home to Ranchi during Christmas and wanted to enter Dhoni`s home, the police said.
