Former Indian opening batter Virender Sehwag’s Vinod has landed in trouble as he was arrested on March 6, Thursday over a cheque bounce case. As per media reports, a cheque of ₹7 crore bounced, prompting the officials to take action after Krishna Mohan Khanna, the owner of Shri Naina Plastics, filed a complaint.
The cops from Chandigarh’s Manimajra police had arrived and arrested Vinod. The two other taken into custody by the personnel were Vishnu Mittal and Sudhir Malhotra as all three were directors of Xalta Food and Beverages Company.
As per News18 Hindi, Shri Naina Plastics lodged a complaint about Jalta Food and Beverages purchasing goods worth ₹7 crore and issued them a cheque of that staggering amount. With the cheque bouncing, the bank notified Mohan Khanna about no money in the account from which to debit. With Xalta Food and Beverages Company reportedly issuing seven different cheques of ₹1 crore each, Vinod and two others received legal notices but no action was taken.

Sehwag, meanwhile, is widely credited for redefining the attacking approach as he used to smash boundaries for fun. The right-handed batter was part of India’s squad that won the T20 World Cup in 2007 and the 50-over edition in 2011.
The 46-year-old held a strike rate of 82.04 in the 104 Tests he played and also partook in 251 ODIs and 19 T20Is. Sehwag has also featured for the Delhi Capitals (formerly Delhi Daredevils) and Punjab Kings (formerly Kings XI Punjab) in the IPL.
