The police submitted their report before the metropolitan court on Tuesday after the Maharashtra Commission for Protection of Child Rights filed a case based on the complaint of social activist Amit Maru.

Khan had claimed that one of the security staff had, in fact, pushed the children who were accompanying him, after which he shouted at him.

Mumbai Cricket Association member Nitin Dalal, in his statement to the police in June, also said, “Dalvi told me Khan abused him and two-three other men manhandled him.” Dalal stuck with Dalvi’s version that he cannot comment on whether Khan was drunk.

The police also told the court they have registered a non cognisable complaint depending on the nature of the offence.

Advocate Aditya Pratap, appearing for petitioner Maru said, “We will challenge this by filing a protest petition before the metropolitan magistrate.”
