Aarka Sports’ CEO Mihir Diwakar refuted allegations of him cheating former India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Diwarkar issued a clarification after reports of wrongdoings and breaching a contract with the former cricketer started doing rounds all over the internet. The reports suggested that MS Dhoni suffered losses of around ₹15 crore after Aarka Sports breached a cricket academy-regarding deal in 2017. However, Diwakar released a statement on X (formerly Twitter) calling all the allegations baseless.
Diwakar tweeted, “With utmost pain and consternation I wish to clarify that the story implanted and run on electronic and print media about cheating #msd is utterly baseless and is done to defame me to destroy my social reputation and my reputation in sports fraternity to inflict business losses to me. MSD has authorised me for working jointly in 2017 and there has been no revocation by him, few mails from his CA. and a legal notice has been sent by MSD which was suitably replied and complied.”
Diwakar went on to claim that he doesn’t owe any money to MS Dhoni, saying, “I clarify that there is no dues/ outstanding of MSD with me rather MSD has to pay certain amounts which has been collected from academies directly by #msdhoni. By dint of my hard work, I established, materialized, and expanded the work which has pinched him, and MSD being a big name is trying to throttle me, my business, and my social integrity.”
Diwakar also took to his Facebook handle and posted the same statement.
Dhoni’s ex-business partner also accused him of deceiving a business firm named Neuglobal Upajvardhak India Limited. He wrote, “The real reason behind all this false accusations against me is because #MSDhoni and his team of directors have committed serious mismanagement, deceitful activities and criminal conspiracy against founder of a public limited company named Neuglobal Upajvardhak India Limited.” He added, “On 30 Dec 2023 I too have received a copy of allegation on email by Rajesh Mourya /Mrs Pushpa mourya the founder of neuglobal upajvardhak India limited towards MSD.”
The 2011 World Cup-winning captain is yet to give any clarification on the accusation made by Diwakar.
