World Cup hero Gautam Gambhir on backfoot on political pitch

Cricketer-turned politician Gautam Gambhir, who is also the elected MP from East Delhi, landed in a fresh controversy on Wednesday. 

Cricketer-turned politician Gautam Gambhir, who is also the elected MP from East Delhi, landed in a fresh controversy on Wednesday. The Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) earlier in the day informed Delhi High Court about the ex-cricketer's foundation unauthorisedly stocking and distributing Fabiflu medicine to COVID-19 patients.  The development took place after the drugs' body, which had earlier given a clean chit to Gambhir's foundation, submitted a fresh report before the court. The former cricketer is not the lone minister embroiled in the controversy as it also includes Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Praveen Kumar, who as per reports, has also been found guilty of similar offences under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. However, this is not the first time when Gambhir has found himself in such a situation. The 2007 and 2011 World Cup-winner, have been attacked by the opposition members on several ocassions, with the one involving jalebi and air-pollution in the national capital, creating a major stir on social media.
