In a surprising turn, former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni has been penalized Rs 1,000 by Ranchi traffic police for violating speed limits in Kanke. Cameras monitoring the roads captured his sleek black Mercedes zooming past the permissible speed, leading to swift action via e-challan as per motor vehicle regulations.
Officials from the traffic department reiterated that no one is above the law, celebrity status notwithstanding. Dhoni, a familiar sight cruising Ranchi’s roads in high-end rides, owns a fleet featuring powerhouses like the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, Mercedes G63 AMG, and a collection of superbikes that turn heads.
Adding to his woes, Dhoni faces scrutiny from the Jharkhand Housing Board. A notice demands clarification on why a residential plot at Harmu Colony’s HIG-10/A is allegedly operating a pathology lab, against its housing-only allotment. He has 15 days to respond in writing.
As these legal hiccups make headlines, Dhoni’s fans remain fixated on his IPL 2026 prospects. Global supporters crave more of his on-field magic, but whispers indicate selective participation. This episode serves as a reminder of accountability for public figures.
