Hunt on for Kaif home attackers

It may be recalled that Kaif8217;s father, Mohammed Tarif, who had been a Ranji trophy player and serves as a ticket checker in the Railways, had told a section of the media following the attack that they would leave Allahabad if such behaviour continued time and again. This was the third such incident.

A group of people claiming themselves to be members of the LJP had burnt the effigy of Kaif, cricket team coach Greg Chappell and BCCI chief Sharad Pawar outside Kaif8217;s residence in Allahabad on Monday. They also broke electric bulbs inside the house and blackened the nameplate bearing name of Mohammed Kaif.

The incident was condemned by one and all, but that did not obviously satisfy Tarif. 8220;This is a reality in sports that any team can face failure several times but if such protests continue, no sportsman will be able to concentrate on his game when his family members were facing trouble back home,8221; said Tarif.
