A few days back, there were reports from Zimbabwe media that an Indian Cricketer was arrested on rape charges. Everyone shocked on hearing this news. But later, it was revealed that the accused wasn’t a cricketer or an official from the Indian team, but 2 Indian men who were linked with the sponsors. Harare Police arrested the 2 men regarding that case.

The two accused are identified as Rajkumar Krishnan, a businessman based in Zambia and Krishna Satyanarayan, who is associated with ITW sports. Senior Assistant Commissioner of Zimbabwe Republic Police, Charity Charamba stated that:

“Two Indian nationals were arrested on rape charges. The girl was based in South Africa and attending a funeral in Harare. She was staying at the same hotel as those two and alleged that she was raped by them. Police have confirmed that the woman was raped. The two accused were taken to court and remanded in custody yesterday. They will apply for bail in the High Court on Monday.”

The incident took place at Meikles Hotel where the two men and the girl were staying. As the Indian Team was also staying in the same hotel, there was confusion that an Indian player was involved in this case.

CEO of Technolog Frontier, Murali Srinivasan stated that: “Krishna is not from our company. He is from one of our affiliate companies (iTeamWorks). That company deals in ground activities. What I have heard is that he was arrested on alleged charges of molestation.”

So guys, now you can relax that no one from Indian Team is involved in this case. So enjoy and support Team India for the final T20 match.
