India cricketer Amit Mishra has denied reports circulating in the media alleging his wife has filed a case of domestic violence and dowry harassment against him and his family. Various media outlets have reported that Mishra’s wife has claimed a compensation of Rs 1 crore in her complaint besides alleging that the cricketer’s family had also demanded Rs 10 lakh and a car during their wedding.
However, Mishra, a legspinner who has played 22 Tests, 36 ODIs and 10 T20Is for India, has threatened legal action against the erring publications for using his name and image in ‘unrelated stories’.
“I’m extremely disappointed by what’s being circulated in the media,” Mishra wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “I’ve always respected the press, but while the news itself may be accurate, the photograph used is mine—which is completely incorrect. Using my image for unrelated stories must stop immediately, or I will be forced to take legal action.”
