Woman Caretaker Arrested For Threatening Yuvraj Singh's Mother

A woman caretaker working at former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s brother’s house was arrested by the Gurugram police on Tuesday for allegedly trying to extort money from Yuvraj Singh’s mother, Shabnam Singh.

The caretaker allegedly threatened the former cricketer’s family, which would implicate them in a false case. According to the complaint filed by Shabnam Singh, the family had hired Hema Kaushik in 2022 to take care of Yuvraj Singh’s brother Zorawar Singh, who had been suffering from depression.

However, the family fired Hema Kaushik after 20 days after she was reportedly "not being professional," according to the former cricketer’s mother, Shabnam Singh.

She claimed that Hema Kaushik has been calling and sending WhatsApp messages since May, threatening to defame the family by implicating them in false cases. Further, she demanded  40 Lakhs from them.
