Robin Uthappa Net Worth [Source: @HumaraBihar/X.com]
Robin Uthappa, the former cricketer, has recently been in the news, but not for the right reasons. An arrest warrant has been issued against him in connection with a provident fund (PF) fraud. The allegations say that Uthappa, who is the director of a Bengaluru-based company called Centaurus Lifestyle Brands Pvt Ltd, did not deposit the PF contributions that were deducted from his employees' salaries.
The company owes nearly ₹24 lakh in dues, which Uthappa has until December 27 to pay. If he fails to do so, he could face arrest. According to Regional PF Commissioner Sadakshari Gopal Reddy, the company failed to deposit approximately ₹23.36 lakh, which is the amount to be recovered from the former Team India player. Uthappa is accused of taking PF deductions from employees’ pay but not putting it into their accounts.
This non-payment has prevented the settlement of PF accounts for the employees, which has led to the police being asked to arrest Uthappa if the dues aren't cleared by the deadline.
