Wish that basic facts are checked from me before publishing such fiction using my name.

IIT Delhi director Raghunath K Shevgaonkar has quit more than two years before the end of his term.IIT sources had told TOI that there was pressure on the director to give land for SachinTendulkar's cricket academy. However, Tendulkar has strongly denied that this is the case. In fact, he has said he has no plans for a cricket academy. We are sorry to have carried the news on the basis of sources which have been reliable in the past and didn't check with Tendulkar. We are sorry for this. We are also removing all mentions of this from the story...a clarification by Toi.
I am appalled to read the stories that suggest some land has been asked from IIT-D for academy in my name.

I have not even planned any academy neither do I want any piece of land for any purpose.
