As per the petition, Sreesanth had no role in the alleged cheating episode. Rather, he had only provided inputs for free when he was asked for advice to start a cricket academy, it was submitted.
He has further claimed that he has not had any financial dealings with the complainant or the first and second accused.
The cricketer has also submitted that he had no knowledge that his name was being used by the co-accused while making representations to the complainant. This was done without his consent, Sreesanth has contended.
“The petitioner (Sreesanth) out of his interest and passion for the game, gave tips and consultations to the 1st accused when he approached him with the proposal to start a cricketing academy that too in Kollur a holy land for Hindus being the Home ground of Lordess Mookambika Devi . His naivety never made him realize the trouble that was being portrayed by the 1st accused. The petitioner has never had any transaction with the complainant,” his plea states.
