Meanwhile, Sumit told The Times of India, “My sister lost over INR 25 lakh in the two-year period. When she confronted Arushi, the latter refused to return the amount. The incident has caused significant distress to Deepti, who is at the moment preoccupied with her training commitments and is preparing for the Team India camp in Bengaluru ahead of the England tour.
