Rohit Sharma caught driving Lamborghini at 200 KMP/H in Mumbai, issued three traffic challans
Mumbai: Indian Cricket Team captain Rohit Sharma has reportedly received three traffic challans for speeding on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. The incident occurred while the opening batter was en route to join the Indian team in Pune for their upcoming game against Bangladesh on Thursday, October 19. Sharma was allegedly driving at speeds exceeding 200 km/h, leading to the issuance of three online traffic challans for reckless driving, according to a report by Pune Mirror.
Ahead of the crucial clash against Bangladesh, reports suggest that Sharma was driving a Lamborghini with a number plate displaying his highest One Day International (ODI) score '264'.
Authorities have raised concerns about the Indian captain's reckless driving on a busy highway, especially in the midst of the World Cup tournament. Suggestions have been made that Sharma should travel in the team bus accompanied by a police escort for enhanced safety.
Despite this off-field incident, the 36-year-old cricketer has been in sensational form during the ongoing World Cup. Sharma is the leading run-scorer for India in the tournament, amassing 217 runs from three innings at an impressive average of 72.33 and a strike rate of 141.83. He has recorded one century and one fifty in the tournament.
In the second match against Afghanistan, Sharma delivered a remarkable performance, scoring 131 runs off 84 balls and breaking several records in the process. He achieved the fastest hundred by an Indian batter in World Cups (63 balls), the highest number of sixes in international cricket (562), the most hundreds in ODI World Cup (7 hundreds), joint-fastest to 1000 runs in ODI World Cup (19 innings), and the third-highest number of centuries in One Day Internationals (ODIs) (31).

UP Cong holds statewide protest seeking probe into FIR against Swami Avimukteshwaranand
Lucknow (PTI): The Uttar Pradesh Congress on Wednesday staged a statewide protest demanding a fair and transparent inquiry into the FIR lodged against Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati and those who filed the complaint against him.
In a statement issued here, the party said memorandums addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi were submitted through district magistrates in all districts of the state.
Uttar Pradesh Congress spokesperson Manish Hindvi told PTI that the memorandums were handed over through the district administration in all 75 districts.
In the memorandum, the party alleged that Saraswati and his disciples were "unnecessarily harassed and humiliated" by police on the occasion of Amavasya and were prevented from taking a ritual bath (at the Magh Mela). It further alleged that some disciples were manhandled and taken to a police station.
The memorandum also claimed that an FIR was later registered against Saraswati, his disciple Swami Mukundanand Brahmachari and several unidentified persons in a sexual harassment case. It termed the case a "conspiracy" aimed at tarnishing the seer's reputation.
Citing Articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution, the memorandum stated that these provisions guarantee religious freedom and the right of religious denominations to manage their own affairs.
It described the position of shankaracharya held by Saraswati as "one of the highest spiritual posts in Sanatan tradition" and alleged that the entire episode appeared to have been "orchestrated in a planned manner".
"We request that the background of the persons who got the FIR registered be investigated in a transparent manner by a retired high court judge and strict action be taken against them," the memorandum said.
It also sought a "fair and transparent probe" into the allegations levelled against Saraswati so that the truth could be established.
Earlier, Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai had told reporters in Varanasi after meeting Saraswati that the party stood firmly with him.
The Congress said it would continue to press for an impartial inquiry into the entire episode.
On February 21, an FIR was lodged in Prayagraj against Saraswati and his disciple Mukundanand Brahmachari on charges of sexually abusing two persons, including a minor, over the past year at a gurukul and religious congregations, including the recently concluded Magh Mela.
Days after he was booked, Saraswati had said on Monday that he would not oppose his arrest and asserted that the "fabricated story" would be exposed sooner or later.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Saraswati alleged that criminals rule in Uttar Pradesh, level allegations and influence investigations, as he denied having any contact with the two persons for whose alleged sexual abuse he has been booked.
