Amrapali group diverted money to MS Dhoni, wife Sakshi's firms, auditors tell SC

Mumbai: Forensic auditors on Wednesday told the Supreme Court that MS Dhoni and his wife Sakshi Dhoni's companies entered into "sham" agreements with Amrapali group.

Amrapali's "arrangement" with Rhiti Sports Management Private Limited and Amrapali Mahi Developers Private Limited came to light during a forensic audit ordered by the top court of the real estate developer in 2018.

Rhiti Sports Management Private Limited, in which Sakshi is a director, is said to have received a total of Rs 42.22 crores from Amrapali group between 2009-2013.

According to an Outlook report, the auditors had observed: "This sum has been paid on account of Agreements executed by Shri Anil Kumar Sharma, CMD for and on behalf of Amrapali Group of Companies with Rhiti Sports Management Private Limited."

"We feel that Home Buyers money has been diverted illegally and wrongly to Rhiti Sports Management Private Limited and should be recovered from them as the said Agreement in our opinion do not stand the test of Law,” reads the forensic report that was produced before the top court's judges.

According to the records, Sakshi Dhoni had received share capital in cash and all the expenses were paid in cash.
