MS Dhoni files criminal complaint against ex-business partners over alleged fraud of ₹15 crore
₹15 crore, reported NDTV. According to the report, a complaint has been filed against Mihir Diwakar and Soumya Vishwas in Ranchi court in connection with a 2017 business deal. Earlier in 2017, to open cricket academies across the world in the cricketer's name, Diwakar had reportedly signed a deal with Dhoni.
However, Diwakar allegedly did not stick to the conditions mentioned in the agreement, according to the complaint. Also, as per the agreement, Aarka Sports was liable to pay the franchise fee and share profits in the ratio mentioned, but they did not follow all the terms and conditions according to the agreement, the complaint added.
Following this, on 15 August 2021, Dhoni withdrew the authorization letter from Aarka Sports and sent several legal notices to Aarka Sports. In the Ranchi Court, Dhoni – represented by his lawyer Dayanand Singh, has claimed that Aarka Sports has cheated him and he has lost more than ₹15 crore.
Meanwhile, Simant Lohani – Dhoni's friend (Chittu) – also filed a complaint against Diwakar, alleging he faced threats and abuse from him after legal action was initiated against Aarka Sports. The website of the sports firm – having a huge photo of MS Dhoni as its cover image – claims that it specializes in athlete and player management.
Apart from this, it also adds that the sports firm provides 'top class consultancy'. This is a developing story, it will be updated shortly.Milestone Alert!
