In the FIR, Andrea shared that Vinod came home drunk and hurled abuses. His 12-year-old son was also present there, and he tried to soothe him when Vinod rushed to the kitchen, grabbed a pan, and threw it on her. She was quoted as saying:
"On 3rd Feb around 1 pm, my husband Vinod Kambli under ready influence of alcohol was abusing me in front of my two kids. That is when I told him not to abuse. He lost his temper and threw broken handle of a frying pan on my head. I suffered injuries. He also ran behind to hit with a bat. My son intervened, but he was abusive against us. I left the house and took treatment at Bhabha Hospital."
However, Vinod Kambli doesn't know anything about the complaint. In an interview with Times Now, the former cricketer shared that he was unaware of the complaint and didn't know his wife had gone to the police station.
Vinod Kambli married Andrea Hewitt in a Christian ceremony at St Peter's Church in 2014. The couple has been dating for a couple of years and had formalised their relationship with a court marriage years before their Catholic wedding. The couple embraced parenthood with the arrival of their son in 2010. They are also blessed with a daughter.
Well, we hope everything sorts out between the ex-cricketer and his wife!
