The Delhi Court yesterday issued a bailable warrant against Gautam Gambhir in a case relating to real estate fraud. The former cricket was the brand ambassador of Rudra Buildwell Reality Pvt. Ltd, a real estate firm which has been accused of accused of cheating, misappropriation and conspiracy of a huge sum of money. Despite investments from customers in Delhi NCR, the project was not delivered on time. Gambhir had to face legal hassles as the company collected the money on behalf of the cricketer.
Gambhir did not appear for the case repeatedly even after rejection of his revision plea. Now, the former cricketer took to Twitter and explained his side of the story. Gambhir went on to say that he could not make an appearance in the court due to professional reasons. “Since last evening there’ve been media reports about bailable warrants issued against me for not appearing before the Court.I’d like to clarify that dates for an appearance in Court coincided either with my playing commitments for Delhi Ranji Team and/or other professional reasons,” read the first tweet. Forget Sourav Ganguly vs Ravi Shastri, Now it's Gautam Gambhir vs the Head Coach of Indian Cricket Team!

He also clarified that he was only the brand ambassador of the company.
I was always represented by my advocates in the Court, as I am more than willing to abide by the law of the land and honor the directions issued by the Hon’ble Court. On another note, I would like to clarify that I was merely a Brand Ambassador...

“.and an Additional Director (for a short while), of the said real estate company named M/s Rudra Buildwell Realty Pvt. Ltd. Maybe this is the price I’ve had to pay and it seems that some vested interests and publicity mongers joined in to publicize the news,” read another tweet.
