    What's the story

    Former cricketer Praveen Kumar is back in the news and for all the wrong reasons.

    The 33-year-old, who retired from cricket last year, allegedly thrashed his neighbor in a drunken state in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh.

    Kumar even went ahead and shoved the neighbor's seven-year-old son, the latter claimed.

    While Kumar is yet to comment, here's more on what the neighbor has alleged.

    Details

    Neighbor claims Kumar fractured his hand

    Speaking to ANI on Saturday, Kumar's neighbor, Deepak Sharma, claimed that the incident occurred when he was waiting for his son at a bus stop around 3 pm one day.

    Soon, Kumar arrived at the spot and allegedly started abusing the bus driver, later targeting Sharma.

    Sharma said, "He was in an inebriated condition. Later, he thrashed me and fractured my hand."

    Police statement

    Meerut Superintendent of Police (SP) Akhilesh Narayan Singh told ANI, "Both of them are neighbors, and they have informed the police about the incident."
