In the cheque-bouncing case, a former India cricketer was arrested
On Wednesday, city police executed a non-bailable arrest warrant against former cricketer Prashant Vaidya in a cheque-bouncing case. Vaidya, who played four One Day Internationals for India in the mid-1990s, was produced before a court, which released him on a surety bond, a police official said. He had allegedly purchased steel from a local trader and issued a check, which bounced, following which the trader demanded that he make a fresh payment, said inspector Vitthalsingh Rajput of the Bajaj Nagar police station.
The official said the cricketer allegedly refused to pay, so the trader moved the court, which issued an NBW against him for skipping court hearings. Vaidya currently heads the cricket development committee of the Vidarbha Cricket Association.
