Chappell manhandled at Bhubaneswar airport

Coach Greg Chappell , who has often landed himself in controversies involving Indian fans since taking over as a coach in 2005, was pushed from behind by an irate fan who managed to break the security cordon at the Biju Patnaik Airport at Bhubaneswar.
The former Australian captain was walking towards the team bus when the man suddenly lunged towards him and tried to grab him, Superintendent of Police Amitav Thakur said.
But Chappell moved away as the man, identified as Biranchi Maharana and an activist of political outfit 'Kalinga Sena', was immediately taken into custody and subsequently arrested, Thakur said.
Eyewitnesses said Maharana, after being taken to a police jeep, shouted slogans like 'Kalinga Sena Zindabad,' 'BCCI go back' and 'Chappell go back'.
"Why are players like Debasis Mohanty and Shiv Sundar Das from Orissa not included in the Indian team," he demanded.
