SRK's stand-off with Mumbai Cricket Association became a hot topic of discussion following an IPL 2012 match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. According to reports, MCA had claimed that he was drunk and assaulted his officials.

The incident took place after the Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL 2012 against Chennai Super Kings. SRK was in a mood for celebration when he reportedly noticed one of the stadium's officials manhandling his daughter after the victory.

SRK reportedly claimed that he acted as any father would, and he went out to argue with the guard. Then the man stated that the actor allegedly abused him, following which they got into an argument.

MCA banned SRK from entering the Wankhede Stadium for five years. Reports say that after the ban, a social activist Amit Maru demanded that the Mumbai Police to lodge an FIR against Khan for violating the Juvenile Justice Act. The activists also claimed that SRK used expletives in the presence of children, breaking the Juvenile Justice Act. It took SRK almost a decade to clear his name from the case.
