I have been distressed by hearing about this news item about Zaheer Khan. Why the hollow sentiment of giving match fees to mumbai victims and cops if we cannot first follow basic rules and respect security staff? This is not the time for exceptions and as cricketers they need to remember that the security is trying to protect not only them but others around them as well. There are armed escorts for the teams and apparently they manage to traverse the distance between the hotel and stadium in 10 mins which for normal folks takes nearly 45 mins!
Perhaps it is an inconvenience, perhaps it is confining, but this is needed at the present time. It is no pleasure either for the fans to leave water, snacks, mobile at home, and be frisked several times to watch a match. The only consolation is that it will safe within a crowded stadium if everyone is scrutinized in the same way (if we start having exceptions - the security is pointless).
Zaheer, put yourself in the cop's shoes - how would it feel to be scanning baggage after baggage not knowing what is in it, or screening irate visitors. Would you trade your shoes for the theirs? So how about an apology? Hope every member cuts off the "prima donna" stuff if not for their own sake atleast for others around them, simply allow the security team to do their job.

this shit-head and his peers must understand that they were not there to watch match or seek autographs... they were there so that if bullet comes in their direction...will take it on their chest...
respect this fact...
anything less than public apology wont do...
even if a punk bowls better he's still a punk
This is the problem with our so-called VIP's. They feel they are above all else..
@sp: harsh words but right - wonder why the media went easy on him
@bored member: once a punk always a punk?
@trideep: sad that even within a month of the incident, they are not able to put the situation above themselves.
To answer question- it is because of a sense of entitlement - a feeling that he is above law or in this case immortal. A bullet whistling past his ears should set him right.:)
ottayan: right on :) - and in the meantime a lot of people need to let him know he needs to behave responsibly.
