Shortly after retiring from all forms of cricket, a bailable warrant has been issued against Gautam Gambhir with regards to a real-estate property scam.

According to PTI, Gambhir was the brand ambassador for a joint project of Rudra Buildwell Realty Pvt Ltd and HR Infracity Pvt Ltd a few years ago. However, a complaint was filed against them after 17 buyers alleged that they had paid Rs 1.98 crores for apartments in the complex, which were never built.

"Considering the fact that accused Gautam Gambhir has not been appearing in this case repeatedly and he has not appeared even despite dismissal of his exemption application on last date of hearing, therefore, issue bailable warrant for Rs 10,000 against the accused with one surety in the like amount for next date of hearing," Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Manish told India Today.
