Former Indian Cricketer Jacob Martin Acquitted in 22-Year-Old Forgery Case
Former Indian cricketer Jacob Martin was acquitted by the Patiala House Court in a 22-year-old case involving allegations of forgery, cheating, and passport violations linked to a forged UK immigration stamp. The court found no credible evidence against him regarding financial transactions or control of the Ajwa Sports Club.
