Former India skipper Dilip Vengsarkar was to release Akhtar’s autobiography `Controversially Yours’ at the Cricket Club of India (CCI) premises. “The event has been cancelled,” confirmed a CCI official, without assigning any reason. According to sources, the event was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.
A protest was held in suburban Dahisar on Saturday against Akhtar, for his comments on Sachin Tendulkar. Protesters carried Akthar’s posters on donkey-backs.
On Monday, Akhtar is scheduled to attend another function to promote his book in the city.
