Former India pacer Sreesanth has found himself in trouble after the Kerala police registered a case of cheating against him and two others. Apart from Sreesanth, the FIR includes Rajiv Kumar, 50, and Venkatesh Kini, 43, as the other accused.
The case was filed based on the complaint by Sareesh Balagopalan, a resident of Choonda Kannapuram, who alleged that he was cheated of INR 18.70 lakh on various dates from April 25, 2019. Sreesanth and the two others have been booked under IPC Section 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property).
The money was purportedly taken for the establishment of a sports academy in Kollur, Karnataka, where Sreesanth has been listed as the third offender in the case, according to the complaint.
Meanwhile, Sreesanth has denied all charges on X (previously Twitter) and stated that he was not involved in any money transactions.
“I want to emphasize that I have absolutely no involvement in any case whatsoever. I have not engaged in any financial transactions or any other activities at all. I truly appreciate the support and love from each and every one of you,” he wrote.
He added that legal action will be taken against people who have named him in the cheating case.
“I have no involvement with them whatsoever. It is truly disheartening to witness individuals attempting to amplify this situation into something significant. I assure you that legal action will be taken against these person ..thnls for the support,” he wrote.
