Indian Women's team all-rounder Deepti Sharma, who is known to be pretty low profile is in the news for off field matters rather than on field matters. The southpaw, who is also DSP has accused fellow women's player Arushi Goel of duping her of over INR 25 Lakh. Not only that, but Deepti has also accused of the fellow player of breaking into her Agra flat to steal valuables, which included costly gold and silver ornaments.
Arushi, who was approached by police for her statement, has declined to speak on the charges leveled by Deepti. Arushi, who also represents the same state team as Deepti - UP, is also a junior clerk with Indian Railways in Agra division. She also plays for the same franchise as the all-rounder in WPL - UP Warriorz.
