The umpires asked Dhoni three times if he'd like to withdraw the appeal and each time he said no.
What a wonderful display of sportsmanship.
Dhoni the wonderful sportsman

it's only 2/3 days old and new information has come to light so it's worth looking at it again.

This comes from Law 23 of cricket.
(b) The ball shall be considered to be dead when it is clear to the bowler’s end umpire that the fielding side and both batsmen at the wicket have ceased to regard it as in play.
Kumar's behaviour suggested that he believed the ball was dead, Bell clearly believed the ball was dead and the way umpire Rauf was handing the bowlers jumper back to him gave the impression that he believed the ball was dead.
It was in fact a comedy of errors that ended with the correct decision.
