Dhoni’s lawyers file a legal case for 100 crores after fixing accusations

A FEW DAYS AGO, former Indian team manager and DDCA secretary Sunil Dev had accused India’s limited overs skipper MS Dhoni of fixing the 2014 Manchester Test between England and India. While Dev later came out to rubbish such claims, the news of Dhoni fixing matches has spread like wildfire. 

Earlier, a leading Hindi daily had quoted Dev slamming Dhoni for fixing. In retaliation, today, Dhoni’s Delhi-based lawyers C&C Associates have sent a legal notice. 

“The said video contains footage of an absolute dubious sting operation of the aforementioned Mr (Sunil) Dev, which in the present circumstances is nothing but a false propaganda initiated by you to defame my client.”

Dhoni’s lawyers have asked the publishers to issue a proof that denies such allegations in the next 48-hours or face a legal case against them. As reported by Deccanchronicle, the notice says, 

“Our client (Dhoni) reserves the right to institute proceedings for the recovery of damages up to Rs 100 Crores from you on account of the defamation, mental agony and trauma caused to him due to this by causing loss of his reputation.”
