Kochi Cricketer Sreesanth seeks anticipatory bail in fraud case
Former Indian cricketer Sreesanth has sought anticipatory bail in a fraud case registered by the Kannur Town Police. He appeared in the High Court to seek relief in the case.
The case revolves around allegations that Sreesanth was duped into buying a villa in Karnataka’s Kollur for Rs 19 lakh. The petition for anticipatory bail was considered by Justice C.P. who temporarily prohibited the arrest of Sreesanth. The government’s position on the matter was also sought.
The case was registered by the police following an order from the Kannur Magistrate Court, based on a complaint filed by Sarig Balagopal, a native of Kannur. According to the complaint, Sreesanth had extorted money in 2019 by promising to make the complainant a partner in the sports academy he was building.
In response, Sreesanth’s petition argues that he was unnecessarily made an accused in the case and claims that there is a conspiracy behind it. The news of the fraud case has caused a stir among cricket fans and the public alike.
As the case continues to unfold, all eyes will be on Sreesanth and the legal proceedings that will follow.
