Z plus security: 145;Upset146; Dhoni walks away alone

8220;Dhoni left for Chennai without any security for the team selection meeting,8221; said Bhattacharya.

Jharkhand Sports Minister Bandhu Tirkey, however, denied the claims, saying that there was any laxity in Dhoni8217;s security.

8220;I spoke to the police chief and learnt that there was no issue with Dhoni8217;s security,8221; he said.

8220;I appeal to you all not to exaggerate things and concentrate on coverage of National Games beginning February 15,8221; Tirkey added.

The Sports Minister has held media responsible for blowing up the issue regarding Dhoni seeking a license for a .9mm pistol.

Jharkhand Police spokesman S N Pradhan said that Dhoni had been given 8216;Z8217; security which was adequate.

Asked whether Dhoni had asked for enhancement of his security, Pradhan said, 8220;Rather he is unhappy over too many policemen guarding him.8221;
