Ranchi
Jharkhand High Court issued notice to legendary wicketkeeper batsman and former Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni in a case filed by his former partners Mihir Diwakar and Soumya Das. Diwakar and Das are directors of Arka Sports and Management Limited and had entered into an agreement with the former Indian captain to open a cricket academy using his name.
Dhoni filed a criminal complaint against him in Ranchi on January 5, accusing him of cheating. In the complaint petition, he alleged that the duo continued to open the cricket academy using his name even after their rights were canceled in 2021. The cricketer alleged that he was defrauded of Rs 15 crore.
Diwakar and Das moved the High Court challenging the cognizance taken against them by a judicial magistrate’s court in Ranchi. Dhoni has been ordered by the High Court to appear in the case and explain his stand.
