Expressing displeasure over the manner in which the organisers handled the second T20 cricket match between India and South Africa at Cuttack, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today ordered a probe into the incident by the home secretary.

"The chief minister has asked the home secretary to probe into the matter leading to spectators throwing water bottles to playground.

The home secretary is asked to submit his report within a month," an official at the Chief Minister's Office said. Patnaik also warned both the Odisha Cricket Association functionaries and police to remain cautious to prevent recurrence of such incident leading to disruption of game at Barabati Stadium in future.

The chief minister, who held a meeting to discuss the episode, wanted explanation from both the police and the OCA as under what circumstances water bottles were allowed into the spectators gallery.
