Delhi Capitals star all-rounder Vipraj Nigam looks to be in a soup after a woman named ‘Richa’ accused him of sexual abuse and physical violence.
The internet has been booming ever since the incident was revealed by the girl who hails from the same place in UP as Nigam.
The Delhi Capitals started the season on a tremendous note, and one of their newest finds of the season was Vipraj Nigam, who they had scouted from the UP T20 League.
The all-rounder soon caught the attention of all Delhi fans with his magnificent power-hitting and some quality spin bowling.
Vipraj mentions Virat Kohli as his greatest inspiration, which is most likely for a player from the Northern side of the country. He also exclaimed that dismissing Virat once during a match against RCB was one of the greatest achievements in his career so far.
Delhi Capitals all-rounder accused of Sexual abuse
However, despite a stellar season with bat and ball, Vipraj Nigam has now been reported to be an ill-charactered man, and his reputation as a cricketer has been shattered in front of the Indian cricket fans.
A girl named Richa accused the DC cricketer of having first befriended her and then lured her with promises of marriage, and then having physical relations with her at the mentioned residence, the Lemon Tree Hotel in Noida.
“He kept repeatedly wronging the girl and threatening her, and even forced her at gunpoint to make a video saying that the girl wouldn’t tarnish his image, wouldn’t create a scene by crying and complaining, and would settle the matter,” writes Tanu Balyan.
Vipraj Nigam is misusing his power to frame the girl
Further, vile accusations have been brought against the player, Vipraj Nigam, that he is misusing his power and influence to turn things in his favour. The reporter has claimed that the girl has been reportedly urging for justice, but has had no one to hear.
“Vipraj is instead filing an FIR against the girl, buying off the media, and portraying Richa as the guilty one-these are all things Richa told me,” mentions Tanu Balyan.
Vipraj Nigam, on the other hand, has revealed to the Times of India that he has been receiving threat messages from several international numbers since September 2025 and alleged that the woman had claimed to lodge false complaints against the cricketer if he did not oblige to her demands.
“Initially, the calls were made from a mobile number, but after I blocked it, the same person began using several foreign numbers to harass me,” the cricketer was quoted as saying in the report.
Vipraj also accused the woman of circulating objectionable and fabricated content, including fake videos, involving the cricketer, to damage his reputation. He informed us that an FIR has been lodged at the Kotwali Nagar Police station in the Barabanki district, and the Superintendent of Police agreed to the same.
Will the Delhi Capitals release their star all-rounder after a disgusting accusation against him?
While Vipraj stands firm, claiming to have not wronged anybody and having not committed a crime, the nation has turned him into a villain and wants justice for the girl, thus slamming the Delhi all-rounder.
Under such circumstances, it remains to be seen if the Axar Patel-led side will continue to have him on their side or they will simply part ways ahead of the mini-auction. This is worth noting that he picked up 11 wickets in the last season and scored 142 runs with the bat.
