Did Harbhajan really punch the cameraman?

Last updated on: September 9, 2009 

Harbhajan Singh found himself in yet another controversy when he allegedly punched a cameraman at the Bengaluru International Airport on Wednesday before leaving with the Indian team for the tri-series in Sri Lanka.

Although sections of the media reported that he had punched the cameraman, some photographers present at the venue said he did nothing of the sort.

The cameraman was trying to get a shot of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Harbhajan's hand came in his way.

The lensman accidently ended up hitting the off-spinner's head with the camera.

Harbhajan, who was angered by the same, merely pushed the camera aside and walked away.

The video alongside should give a clear picture of the incident.

Judge for yourself. Was Harbhajan guilty of hitting the cameraman? Are television channels just creating unnecessary controversy?
