An arrest warrant has been issued against former India batter Robin Uthappa in connection with an alleged case of defrauding employees and the government related to the Provident Fund (PF) case.

As the director of Centaurus Lifestyle Brands Private Limited, Uthappa is accused of defrauding employees and the government by deducting PF contributions from salaries but failing to deposit the funds into employee accounts.

The company allegedly owes Rs2,326,000 in damages, which authorities are seeking to recover from Uthappa.

Regional Provident Fund Commissioner Shadakshiri Gopala Reddy issued a letter on December 4 directing the Pulakeshi Nagar Police to arrest Uthappa.

Upon this letter, the police went to Robin Uthappa's house to issue a notice. Currently, he is not residing at that address.

"Due to non-remittance of dues, this office is unable to settle the Provident Fund accounts of the poor workers. Given the above, you are kindly requested to execute the enclosed warrant of arrest through the Thana in-charge under whose jurisdiction Uthappa resides," a statement said.

Uthappa has represented India in 59 international matches and has been a popular figure in the Indian Premier League.
