In light of the Shami controversy, 5 criminal cases involving cricketers

#4 Navjot Singh Sidhu

Sidhu was sentenced to three-year imprisonment which was later suspended

In 2006, former Indian opener Navjot Singh Sidhu was convicted by the Punjab and Haryana High Court following a scuffle which claimed the life of Gurnam Singh, a resident of Patiala. In an FIR registered in 1988, it was alleged that Navjot Sidhu and Bhupinder Singh Sandhu smashed Gurnam Singh after dragging him out his car.

Both Sidhu and Sandhu were sentenced to three-year imprisonment accompanied by a fine of Rs 1 lakh. Subsequently, Sidhu appealed against the High court verdict in the Supreme Court, which suspended the previous judgment in 2007.
