Former Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni has taken legal action against his former business partner, Mihir Diwakar, for alleged fraud. Dhoni filed a criminal case against Aarka Sports Management Pvt Ltd, a company in which Diwakar serves as a director along with Soumya Das. The case accuses Diwakar of using Dhoni's name to establish a sports academy in Jaipur without authorization.
In response to the filing of the criminal case by MS Dhoni, Diwakar was arrested by the Jaipur police. He faces charges under several sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including 406, 420, 467, 468, 471, and 120B. The case was lodged by the legendary wicketkeeper-batter at the District Court Ranchi.
Mihir Diwakar has reportedly committed a fraud of INR 15 crore by collecting the franchise fees to establish academies such as MS Dhoni Cricket Academy and MS Dhoni Sports Academy.
Dhoni accused Diwakar misinterpreting his association with him to open cricket academies in Jaipur despite former Chennai Super Kings warned against the use of his name. Diwakar used Dhoni's popularity for personal gains.
