Indian Cricketers Who Have Been Involved In Criminal Cases: Indian cricket players are living legends, and every move they make is closely watched by their fans, no matter how hard they try to stay anonymous. However, sometimes even these cricketers have faced legal troubles. While cricketers like S Sreesanth were caught in the 2013 spot-fixing case and lost their entire careers,
here are five Indian cricketers who were involved in criminal cases but got away without any consequences:
1. Amit Mishra
In 2015, the Bangalore police detained Delhi Capitals leg-spinner Amit Mishra. He was charged with assaulting someone in a hotel room.
Amit Mishra was charged under Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to a woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 328 (causing hurt with intent to commit an offense) of the Indian Penal Code. He was released on bail after a three-hour questioning.
2. Suresh Raina
In December 2020, Suresh Raina was detained by the police for breaking COVID-19 rules. He was caught in a police raid at the Dragonfly Club in Mumbai, where he was attending a party.
Singer Guru Randhawa was also arrested. Both were released on bail.
3. Navjyot Singh Sidhu
In a road rage incident, Navjyot Singh Sidhu was accused of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. In 1998, he allegedly beat up a man from Patiala, who later died in the hospital.
Sidhu was cleared of all charges in 1999, but the case was reopened seven years later, and he was charged with murder. He was sentenced to three years in jail. The Supreme Court suspended his sentence and granted him bail when he appealed the decision.
4. Vinod Kambli
In 2015, Vinod Kambli and his wife were accused of assaulting their housekeeper. The housekeeper claimed they attacked her when she asked for her salary.
Kambli was detained under IPC sections 342, 34, 506, and 504 after the police filed an FIR.
5. Yuvraj Singh
Last year, during an Instagram chat with another player, Singh allegedly made casteist comments. Expressing regret, Singh tweeted, “I understand that during a conversation with my friends, I was misunderstood, which was unwarranted. However, as a responsible Indian, I want to say that if I unintentionally hurt anybody’s sentiments or feelings, I would like to express regret for the same.”
