Former India pacer and Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) chairman of the senior selection committee, Amit Bhandari received five stitches on his head after he was allegedly attacked by a group led by a player, who failed to make the cut during the Delhi U-23 selection trials for the Mushtaq Ali Trophy at St Stephen's Ground yesterday.

"Amit was attacked with bats, iron rods and hockey sticks and has received five stitches on his head. He is out of danger but was beaten up badly. Both his feet are swollen and there are numerous injury marks on his back. He is being treated at the Sant Parmanand Hospital in the Civil Lines area," one of selectors, who was an eye witness to the attack, told mid-day.
