New Delhi/IBNS: Former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa has landed himself in trouble after an arrest warrant was issued against him over an alleged fraud in the Provident Fund, media reports said.
The warrant has been issued by PF regional commissioner Shadakshari Gopal Reddy.
Uthappa is accused of deducting PF contributions from the salaries of employees who work at firm Centuries Lifestyle Brand Private Limited, which the former cricketer manages, but failed to deposit the money which amounts to Rs. 23 lakh.
