The Indian & Chennai Super Kings ace spinner Harbhajan Singh has alleged that he has been cheated by a Chennai based businessman for Rs. 4 Crore.
According to a report by TOI, Harbhajan has filed a complaint with the Chennai City police against a businessman for duping him of Rs. 4 Crore.

According to Mahesh he had paid all the pending dues to Harbhajan.
