XtraTime Web Desk: Former India & Chennai Super Kings cricketer Suresh Raina finally broke his silence on Tuesday since he left the CSK bio-bubble in UAE and returned to India for some personal reasons. As of now Raina won't feature in IPL 2020. The star left hand batsman tweeted about the crimes committed by some unknown goons against his family members in Punjab.

Three days after the incident, Raina revealed that his cousin, who was injured on the same night and was battling for life, succumbed to injuries on Monday night. Raina took to Twitter to request Punjab police, and Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh for probe into the matter.

Raina wrote, "What happened to my family is Punjab was beyond horrible. My uncle was slaughtered to death, my bua [aunt] & both my cousins had sever [sic] injuries. Unfortunately my cousin also passed away last night after battling for life for days. My bua is still very very critical & is on life support.

"Till date we don’t know what exactly had happened that night & who did this. I request @PunjabPoliceInd to look into this matter. We at least deserve to know who did this heinous act to them. Those criminals should not be spared to commit more crimes."

There were question marks over Raina's sudden departure from the tournament, even more so after CSK boss N Srinivasan was quoted saying 'Raina will certainly realise what he was missing'. Later, Srinivasan, in an interview to Times of India, clarified that he was misquoted and the franchise is in full support of the cricketer.
