Yet another former cricketer was arrested in IPL betting. The former Women team coach Tushar Arothe has been arrested on Tuesday after being involved with IPL betting. He was arrested at Vadodara in a cafe alongside 18 other people, who are involved in the betting.
We arrested Tushar Arothe – Policeman
Speaking of the same, the Policeman confirmed by saying that they arrested the former cricketer Tushar for involving in IPL betting. They also revealed that they have seized the mobile phones and vehicles of the concerned people.
“We arrested Tushar Arothe along with 18 other persons during a raid at a cafe. Their phones&vehicles have been seized.” JS Jadeja, DCP Crime Branch, Vadodara was quoted as saying by ANI.
Apart from Rs 54,000 in cash, 82 mobile phones, four televisions, six laptops, Wi-Fi dongle, hard disk, calculators and two cars were seized from the accused, the officer said. The police further added that they got the news from the anonymous and checked a couple of flats near Ajmer road.
The 52-year-old Arothe coached the Indian women’s team from April 2017 to June 2018, before stepping down from the job after some senior players were unhappy with him.
Despite the concerns with the other officials, he did well in his short stint as the coach of the Indian team. He guided the women side to the World Cup final in 2017 and also the final of the Asia Cup last year.
After quitting from the role, he quoted that the players aren’t happy with the way he had coached the team. He lamented them and said that the Board of Control for Cricket in India will keep on changing the coaches, as the players won’t feel comfortable with the coaches.
However, it was a shameful act from the former women cricket coach. Despite knowing all the rules and regulations, involving in such activities would certainly see the wrong side of things for Tushar in the near future.
