In a surprising turn, MS Dhoni, the iconic wicketkeeper-batsman and ex-India skipper, faced a Rs 1,000 fine from Ranchi traffic cops for driving too fast. His sleek black Mercedes was caught on camera in Kanke zooming past the speed limit, leading to swift action via e-challan under traffic regulations.
The former captain, known for his strategic brilliance in IPL and international cricket, remains a beloved figure in Ranchi. Yet, this violation highlights the city’s push for stricter road safety. Officials note that surveillance tech is helping enforce laws impartially.
Dhoni’s love for luxury rides is no secret—his collection boasts beasts like Jeep Trackhawk, Grand Cherokee, Mercedes G63 AMG, Nissan Jonga, and premium motorcycles. He’s frequently seen behind the wheel in his hometown.
Adding to the buzz, Dhoni received a notice from Jharkhand Housing Board last week. The board alleges his Harmu Colony plot HIG-10/A, meant only for residence, is operating a pathology lab commercially. He’s been asked to clarify in writing within 15 days.
While Dhoni’s silence persists on both matters, these events spark discussions on celebrity accountability. Ranchi authorities remain firm: Traffic rules are for everyone, fame notwithstanding.
