Reportedly, Pant desired to purchase two watches, a Franck Muller Vanguard Yachting Series watch and a Richard Mille watch, and paid Rs 36,25,120 and Rs 62,60,000, respectively.

Digital Desk: Indian wicketkeeper-batsman and Delhi Capitals captain Rishab Pant was cheated by Haryana cricketer Mrinank Singh.

Singh, who was recently arrested for cheating a businessman for Rs 6 lakh, conned Pant for Rs 1.63 crore last year. In February 2021, the left-hander and his manager, Puneet Solanki, filed a complaint against Singh.

While Singh was detained by the Juhu police earlier this month for allegedly duping a city-based businessman, the Saket court sent a notice to the Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai to present him.

Pant alleged that Singh tricked him by providing bogus Pant in his complaint alleged that Singh tricked him by providing bogus references to gain his trust. The complaint also included details on the price of the produced watches and noted a mutual oral settlement of INR 1.63 crore. 

Reportedly, Pant desired to purchase two watches, a Franck Muller Vanguard Yachting Series watch and a Richard Mille watch, and paid Rs 36,25,120 and Rs 62,60,000, respectively.

“In January 2021, Singh told Pant and Solanki that he had started a business of buying and selling luxury watches, bags, jewellery, etc. He referred several cricketers to whom he claimed to have sold the goods. He falsely represented to Pant and his manager that he could procure luxury watches and other accessories for them at good discounts and very cheap prices,” the complaint stated.

“Believing in the story of the accused, in February, Pant handed over a luxury watch and few jewellery items worth Rs 65,70,731 for resale,” the complaint added.

It may be mentioned that the reports also claimed that a film director and several hotels have all been duped by the 23-year-old Singh.
