MS Dhoni faces a Jharkhand Housing Board Notice just weeks before IPL 2026 starts. The legendary captain got into legal trouble over his Ranchi property. Authorities claim he misused a residential plot for commercial purposes.
The Jharkhand State Housing Board sent an official notice recently. They allotted the plot on Harmu Road strictly for residential use. But investigations suggest commercial activities are happening there now.
What the Jharkhand Housing Board Notice Says
The notice alleges that Dhoni violated the original allotment terms. A diagnostic facility is reportedly operating from the property currently. This breaks the residential-use-only rules clearly.
Jharkhand Housing Board Chairman Sanjay Lal Paswan explained the situation to Aaj Tak clearly. Dhoni wasn’t the only person who received such plots from authorities. Multiple individuals got similar residential plots from the board previously.
The board conducted an internal inquiry into all these properties. Reports of commercial misuse triggered notices to several allottees. A final notice was sent demanding a proper explanation.
Serious Consequences if MS Dhoni Doesn’t Respond
The board may cancel the plot allotment if no satisfactory response comes. They will follow proper legal procedures and land-use regulations. The situation could escalate into a major legal issue.
Interestingly, similar allegations exist against the BJP state office nearby. That office also sits on Harmu Road in Ranchi. The board issued notices there too and investigations continue.
The captain hasn’t issued any public response to this notice yet. His silence raises questions about how he’ll handle this situation. People expect a statement from him soon.
MS Dhoni’s Current Living Situation
Dhoni doesn’t even live at the Harmu Road property anymore. He moved to a newly built home on Ring Road years ago. His new house is also located in Ranchi city.
This timing creates an awkward situation before the IPL 2026 begins. Dhoni will play and mentor the Chennai Super Kings in the tournament confidently. He’s known for staying calm under pressure on the cricket field.
But this off-field administrative scrutiny tests him differently now completely. The contrast between his cricket composure and legal troubles is stark. Fans hope he resolves this issue quickly before the season.
The IPL 2026 season starts soon in March with great anticipation. Dhoni needs to focus on cricket and captaincy duties for CSK. This legal distraction couldn’t have come at a worse time honestly!
