10 cricketers who got arrested for weird reasons

5. Praveen Kumar 

Praveen Kumar who was India’s prolific swing bowler at his time had once again made headlines when his neighbour accused Praveen of thrashing him and his son. Before this incident, twice back in 2008 and 2011, Praveen had made headlines for wrongful reasons where he was allegedly involved in a street-fight with a doctor. 

As per the complaint Praveen was in the inebriating condition who arrived with his car and started abusing the bus driver and then his neighbour. He also thrashed both his neighbour and his son hence making them badly injured. 

Later on, when asked about the entire incident Praveen said in response that “It is all a lie. In fact, he tried to snatch my chain. It is a case of local politics and nothing else. I don’t even live in that area. I have two-three houses there and I had gone to see the status of paintwork there.” It was also noted that due to Praveen’s cricketing status the complaint was initially neglected by the Police.
