India's one-day skipper says there's a threat to his life. So after getting female bodyguards to keep his fans at bay, and 'Z' category security, Mahendra Singh Dhoni wants a gun.
He's the toast of the advertising industry, the cynosure of all eyes. Dhoni is indeed Team India's blue-eyed boy.
Not satisfied with his revolver and already stout security, Dhoni has now applied for a pistol license. And the 9mm gun Dhoni wants is so powerful that its heavily restricted.
"Dhoni has applied for a 9mm pistol. The bore of this gun is very restricted," says Manoj Kumar, SDO, Ranchi.
If his aides are to be believed, a threat from Naxals is what fired his newest desire. Dhoni's application can be approved only by the Home Ministry.
Explains SS Bhatia, SSP, Ranchi, "It's a matter of a restricted bore. The state will have to take a call. I believe the DC is considering it."
But come the football game with his pals or the next bike ride, this cricketer leaves his security far behind.
Perhaps he wants the 9mm gun for a touch of safety during these times.
