Fondly known as ‘Master Blaster’, Tendulkar made his debut at the age of 16, becoming the youngest Indian cricket player to play an international match.

The police said the trio from Chandigarh — Rohan (21), Sumit (22), and Mohit (19) — were dhol players by profession and had procured the weapons due to an old rivalry with local residents.
