Madras High Court Sentences IPS Officer in Contempt Case Filed by MS Dhoni

Madras high court on Friday sentenced IPS officer Sampath Kumar to 15 days of imprisonment in a contempt of court petition moved by cricketer MS Dhoni. However, a division bench of Justice S S Sundar and Justice Sunder Mohan suspended the sentence for 30 days to enable Sampath Kumar to prefer an appeal. On December 17, 2021, Sampath Kumar filed an additional written statement in a defamation suit moved by Dhoni against the IPS officer in connection with the 2014 IPL betting scam.
