Ahead of Indian Premier League 2026, Dhoni Hit With Traffic Fine

MS Dhoni is back in the news as Jharkhand State Housing Board has sent him a notice for allegedly misusing a residential plot in Ranchi. This time, the controversy is related to speeding. His car was caught violating traffic rules in Ranchi. This incident occurred a few days before he was supposed to leave for Chennai to attend the Chennai Super Kings preparation camp for IPL 2026.

According to a report in India Today, Ranchi's traffic monitoring system recorded a video of a traffic violation near his home. Following this, Dhoni was issued an e-challan under Section 183 of the Motor Vehicles Act. The automated system detected the vehicle exceeding the prescribed speed limit. Although this is a minor offense of one thousand rupees, incidents involving Dhoni attract public attention.

This incident occurred shortly after Dhoni received a notice from the Jharkhand State Housing Board regarding the alleged misuse of a residential plot in Ranchi. The notice stated that his property, an old house on Harmu Road, was allotted solely for residential purposes but was allegedly being used for commercial activities.
