Seems like Hardik Pandya's bad days are not over yet. Bad T20 WC, Rape allegations and now this, Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya's luxury watches worth Dh2.4 million seized at Mumbai airport. The watches were worth 5 crore and Pandya has no receipt of these watches. Pandya is perhaps undergoing the toughest phase of his life, lets see how he tackle this situation.

No sympathy for Pandya here. Even if there is no truth in the rape allegations (which I doubt), he doesn't have any excuse in smuggling luxury watches. Pandya purchased the watches in the UAE and brought them to India without paying the import duty at the airport. A poor third world country such as India can't afford to have people like Pandya, who refuse to pay the due taxes. I hope he will get punished for this, although most likely he will be let off with a warning thanks to his political connections. And let's not forget that this is the same guy who suggested the Indian team to take the knee at the world cup. Imagine this, a tax evader advising the team on how to react against racism in the United States and at the same time refusing to pay taxes in India.

@Sithara007 I won’t comment on the rape issue until it’s proved, because most likely it’ll never be proved due to lack of evidence as it’s always seen when a case is filed against a famous person.

Furthermore as for the watches are concerned he gave a statement which said that he declared full customs, but the officers wanted to revalue it and he believes the media is misleading the people, but he didn’t say he’ll sue those outlets for spreading lies which does make me wonder who’s correct and who’s lying.
