Cricketer Yuvraj Singh took on social media to rubbish all the claims and news published by several media agencies regarding the involvement of Yuvraj and Harbhajan Singh in a Pearl Group Scam. They were alleged to have taken plots from the group, which were later seized by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED). Yuvraj jas rubbished all this.
Pearl Group has been accused of Ponzi scheme and thus the CBI has asked for a list of all the celebrities who have connection with this group, including the Bollywood and sports personalities. Yuvraj and Harbhajan were part of this list. A warrant was issued by the Metropolitan Magistrate Harvinder Singh, which led to the arresting of Top 4 administrators of the group.
Yuvraj Singh posted updates on facebook as well as on Twitter regarding the same and clarified the situation.
He tweeted
Just to clarify about a baseless and irresponsible report from a certain section of the media on me and @harbhajan_singh Pearl group

This tweet clearly states that they have got no real connection with the group apart from the fact this group promised them ( Yuvraj and Harbhajan) a plot for free after they were a part of the World Cup winning squad in 2011.
Yuvraj Singh was the ‘ Man of the Series’ and had contributed with both bat and ball. He continued to fight with cancer throughout the tournament but never gave up till he won the cup for India.
