5 Shocking MS Dhoni On-Field and Off-Field Controversies
MS Dhoni is one of the biggest names in the history of Indian cricket, having captained the side to three ICC titles.
1. Amrapali case
Between 2010 and 2014, the Amrapali group proposed to construct about 42,000 residential flats in the Greater Noida and Noida region. The real estate company accepted advances from the interested buyers, ranging from 40 per cent to 100 per cent value of the flats before an allotment-cum-flat buyer agreement was registered.
Amrapali had promised to complete the construction in three years. Owing to the non-delivery of the property and financial indiscipline, the flat buyers took it to the supreme court. The Supreme Court summoned a forensic audit of the real estate group to look into the matters. The forensic audit allegedly found that Amrapali diverted over INR 5,500 crore through different companies.
Dhoni, formerly a brand ambassador of the group, found himself amid controversy in 2016 after the buyers raised the issues. This also led to the cricketer quitting his role as brand ambassador. The Supreme Court, earlier in the month, revoked Amrapali Group’s registration under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, according to India Today.
