Why Did MS Dhoni Get a Legal Notice for His Ranchi Property? Full Details Inside

Why Did MS Dhoni Get a Legal Notice for His Ranchi Property? Full Details Inside

[ Poll: oZzOGVwM ]

Former Indian captain and Mahendra Singh Dhoni has reportedly received a notice from the Jharkhand State Housing Board (JSHB). The notice is about claims that a residential plot given to him in his hometown Ranchi is being used for commercial purposes. Dhoni is also a famous player of Chennai Super Kings. The issue centers around a 10,000-square-foot property located on Harmu Road, Ranchi. The plot was gifted to Dhoni by Jharkhand government in 2006 (some reports say 2009) in recognition of his historic cricketing achievements.

MS Dhoni receives notice over alleged commercial use of residential plot in Ranchi 

The terms of the allotment strictly stipulated that the land be used for residential purposes only. An internal inquiry by Housing Board reportedly revealed that a diagnostic facility/pathology lab has been operating from these premises. Authorities state that running a commercial business on land designated for housing constitutes a breach of the board's regulations.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has reportedly been given 15 days to give an official explanation about the alleged misuse of the land. If the issue is not fixed, the Jharkhand State Housing Board may start the process to cancel the land allotment. As per reports, Dhoni is not the only one under scrutiny; notices have been sent to several other officials and individuals in the same area for similar violations.

MS Dhoni currently resides at his sprawling seven-acre farmhouse on Simaliya Ring Road, having moved out of Harmu Road property in 2017. While the Harmu Road house remains a popular "selfie point" for fans, the legendary wicketkeeper-batter has not yet issued a public response to the legal notice. On the professional front, the 44-year-old Chennai Super Kings (CSK) legend is busy preparing for IPL 2026.
