The complaint was filed in August 2023 after the misappropriation was discovered. Sharma had been absconding for nearly three years before a police team tracked him down and apprehended him on August 4. During interrogation, Sharma reportedly admitted to transferring portions of the stolen money into acquaintances' bank accounts and said he lost a substantial amount through illegal cricket betting.
