Step Brother of Hardik Pandya Arrested for Cheating Him of Rs 4.3 Crore

Hardik, Krunal, and Vaibhav set up a business in 2021, and the agreement outlined that the two cricketers would each receive 40 per cent of the profits while Vaibhav would get 20 per cent. However, the lesser-known Pandya did not share the profits as agreed; instead, he formed a separate company and diverted the funds from the business into it. According to officials of the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai police, Vaibhav was charged with cheating and forgery, and this arrest followed a complaint filed by Hardik against the 37-year-old. The decision by Mumbai Indians (MI) to remove Rohit as captain faced backlash from the fans, resulting in Hardik receiving hate from them.

Hardik’s tenure as captain began with a series of losses, but the franchise managed to secure a victory in their last game against Delhi Capitals. After a streak of defeats, doubts started to surface among the players and fans. Hardik acknowledged the need to clear minds before the match against Delhi, and emphasized the importance of having the right plans and intent. He also expressed gratitude for the support and care within the team, highlighting the belief and attitude of backing each other.
