IPL authorities suspended Indian controversial spinner Harbhajan Singh from Indian Premier League 2008 for his ugly behaviour in Mohali. He was banned from playing remaining IPL matches in this season. BCCI will also ban him for at least 10 One Day Internationals or 5 test matches. ICC said that it will not interfere in this matter. Sreesanth also gets a warning from BCCI for his aggressive behaviour on the field. Ironically, Mumbai coach Lalchand Rajput fined 50% of his match fee as he failed to stop the quarrel. 
BCCI appointed a senior lawyer to investigate about the entire episode and will submit report within 15 days. If Harbhajan found guilty in the investigation, he will be banned for life term according to ICC code of conduct.
About video evidence:
It clearly showed the slapping of Sreesanth by Harbhajan Singh. There was no clear evidence about Sreesanth words in that video footage. So IPL committee took stern action against Harbhajan while Sreesanth escaped with a warning. According to sources, Sreesanth said “Hard Luck” which provoked Harbhajan Singh. Lalchand Rajput who stood behind Harbhajan failed to restrain him.
According to Mohali IPL, Mumbai Indians captain Harbhajan Singh slapped Sreesanth after the match when he went to handshake with the spinner after Mumbai lost the IPL match with Mohali. IPL authorities investigated the video evidence and observed that Harbhajan slapped Sreesanth without any provocation. But according to some sources, Sreesanth commented Harbhajan in a lighter vein about the loss; but Harbhajan who lost their third successive match slapped Sreesanth in a flash. Emotional Sreesanth wept in front of cameras which sent shock waves across cricket world.
