Controversy | • In 2015, he left the government job (South Eastern Railway) after servicing 2 years which made a huge impact on him as according to the government law, he had to pay Rs. 10 Lakh as a compensation to the Railways which is the five years salary of the employee. Until Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bought him for Rs. 10 lakhs, his family didn't afford that amount. There would also be chances to take strict action against him by Railways or file a case against him but luckily, Railways didn't take any action. |
