Internet Desk: Yet another controversy for MS Dhoni, this time it isn’t cricket but water. India’s most successful captain MS Dhoni has entangled into a controversy where it is alleged that in spite of huge water crisis in his native place Ranchi 15,000 litres of water is being used to fill up the swimming pool of his ancestral home every day. At a time when Bombay High Court forced the BCCI to shift matches from Maharashtra as the state is suffering from huge water scarcity.

Recently MS Dhoni resigned from the post of brand ambassador of Amrapali housing project as stakeholders objected that the work has not been going in the right direction that dented India’s limited over captain’s image.

Earlier Jharkhand Revenue Minister Amar Kumar Bauri complained about MS Dhoni’s swimming pool wasting water whereas the colonies of Harmu Road, where Doni’s house is situated in Ranchi, are suffering from water crisis. It is alleged that at least 15000 litres water is being used every day to fill up the pools with new water. People have also alleged that even though Dhoni rarely visits Ranchi, the swimming pool at his ancestral home in Ranchi is always remains filled with water.

Taking a jibe at the cricketer, people have questioned that why no arrangement of water for 5000 people of Yamunanagar could be made while 15,000 litres every day is poured into the swimming pool at Dhoni’s Ranchi located home.

Meanwhile, a close aide of Dhoni in Ranchi has refuted these claims. He said that the swimming pool is not ‘always’ filled with water. The pool is filled only when MS Dhoni is in town and nobody else’s water share is cut for the same.
