Cricketing legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni has recently filed a criminal case against Mihir Diwakar and Soumya Vishwash of Aarka Sports and Management Limited, alleging cheating of over Rs 15 crore. The case, lodged in a Ranchi court, centres around an agreement made in 2017 to establish a global cricket academy. According to Dhoni’s representative, Dayanand Singh, Aarka Sports failed to fulfil the stipulated conditions of the agreement, including payment of franchise fees and profit-sharing. Despite several attempts and legal notices, the terms were allegedly disregarded, prompting Dhoni to revoke Aarka Sports’ authority letter in August 2021.
