Overview
- S Sreesanth told Lallantop in a June 19 interview that his wife, Bhuvneshwari, was one of the main reasons he did not kill himself while held in police custody and for about 27 days in Tihar Jail during 2013.
- He said Bhuvneshwari coordinated with lawyers and that her family supported him through the scandal, which he says played a decisive role in obtaining his bail.
- The interview recalls his long relationship with Bhuvneshwari, whom he first met in 2007 and married in 2013 while the legal case was unresolved.
- Sreesanth framed the jail period as a turning point for his mental resilience and noted medical setbacks before the scandal, including a 2012 toe operation that left him temporarily unable to walk.
- The account is personal and retrospective: Sreesanth was arrested in May 2013 in the IPL spot‑fixing probe, later acquitted in 2015, returned to play before retiring in March 2022, and his June 2026 comments do not report any new legal developments.
