Robin Uthappa breaks silence after arrest warrant over PF fraud allegation

.

Former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa has addressed the recent controversy surrounding an arrest warrant issued against him over a Provident Fund (PF) fraud case. Uthappa clarified his association with the companies involved—Strawberry Lenceria Pvt. Ltd, Centaurus Lifestyle Brands Pvt. Ltd, and Berryz Fashion House—and firmly denied any executive role in their operations.

In a detailed statement, Uthappa explained that he was appointed as a director of these companies during 2018-19 solely due to his financial contributions in the form of loans.

However, his involvement remained limited, as his professional commitments left him without the time or expertise to engage in day-to-day operations. Uthappa emphasised that he has never played an executive role in these or any other businesses he has funded.
