Top 5 infamous moments of assault charges against cricketers

Shashank Singh (India)

Punjab Kings all-rounder Shashank Singh found himself in legal controversy after an FIR was registered against him, his father Shailesh Singh, and their driver following allegations made by the family's former cook, Vipendra Singh Tomar. According to the complaint filed at Ratibad Police Station in Bhopal, Tomar alleged that he was verbally abused, assaulted, wrongfully confined, and prevented from contacting others after expressing his wish to resign from his job. He further claimed that his phone was confiscated and that he suffered injuries after the trio allegedly forced open a locked room.

A medical examination reportedly documented visible injuries, leading police to register a case under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Shashank Singh has categorically denied all allegations. Police have stated that the investigation remains ongoing, with officials examining the complainant's statement, medical report, and other evidence. No court has determined the merits of the allegations at this stage.
