Former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on September 22 in connection with a money-laundering investigation, raising questions in the cricketing and financial circles.

According to reports, the ED issued summons to Uthappa as part of its ongoing probe into alleged financial irregularities. The veteran cricketer, who has been an integral part of India’s T20 World Cup-winning squad in 2007 and has played for multiple IPL franchises, will now have to appear before the agency to record his statement.

The Enforcement Directorate’s investigation is linked to suspicious financial transactions under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). While details of Uthappa’s alleged involvement have not been fully disclosed, sources indicate that the ED is examining documents and transaction records where his name has surfaced.

Robin Uthappa, widely respected for his contributions to Indian cricket, has so far not released any official statement regarding the summons. His legal team is expected to respond once further clarity emerges. The development has sparked discussions among fans and experts, given Uthappa’s clean public image throughout his career.

This summons comes at a time when several high-profile individuals across sports, business, and entertainment have come under ED’s scanner in recent months. As the September 22 hearing approaches, the cricketing community awaits clarity on the matter and Uthappa’s response to the investigation.
