Former business partner of MS Dhoni, Mihir Diwakar has rubbished all the allegations of fraud levelled against him by Dhoni. Diwakar, CEO of Aarka Sports’, has stated that he is being accused because Dhoni and his team of directors “committed serious mismanagement, deceitful activities and criminal conspiracy against founder of a public limited company”.
However, on Friday, January 5, several media reports claimed that MS Dhoni had filed a criminal case against Mihir Diwakar and Soumya Vishwash. The reports also claimed that Dhoni had been reportedly cheated of more than ₹15 crore as well. Notably, as per an article in India Today, Dhoni had an agreement with Diwakar of Aarka Sports and Management Limited to establish cricket academies across the globe back in 2017 but Diwakar did not follow the agreement, after which Dhoni revoked Aarka Sports’ authority letter on August 15, 2021 as well.

Taking to social media to share his version of events, Diwakar slammed MS Dhoni and termed the allegations of cheating levelled against him are baseless. In a detailed post on his X handle, he wrote:
“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. MSD on his letter head, had authorize me but the same was never revoked by him,” he added.
“Further, 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 further wrote.
“This story is imaginary, scandalous and needs to be withdrawn immediately. 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. The actual founder [of the company] is asking MSD for clarification, alleging him on multiple counts which MSD is not replying. Shri MS Dhoni and his team has done grave injustice to me too which amounts to serious criminal offence,” he concluded.
