Indian captain MS Dhoni files Rs 100-crore law suit on Zee network

Chennai Super Kings Captain MS Dhoni, who is allegedly involved in the spot fixing scandal

Indian skipper MS Dhoni, and one of the players apparently accused in the IPL spot fixing scandal, has moved the Madras high court claiming damages worth a staggering Rs 100-crore from Zee group for tarnishing his reputation on national television without any proven evidence.

On Tuesday, the 32-year old also won an interim court order, which restrains the Zee group from airing interviews or news relating to certain match-fixing allegations against him.

Having denied any involvement in unlawful activities, Dhoni has filed the suit arguing that his hard-earned international reputation was at stake and his name, without any substantial proof is being degraded.

The 2011 World Cup winner confirmed the suit on Tuesday. A single judge of the Madras high court found Dhoni’s claims legitimate, issuing a restraining order on Zee group channels from telecasting any interview or discussion on Dhoni and the alleged scandal.
