New Delhi, December 21, 2024: Former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa is in legal trouble as an arrest warrant has been issued against him for alleged involvement in an Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) fraud case. Uthappa, who has been a key figure in Indian cricket, is accused of being part of a financial scam involving the misappropriation of EPF funds.
