Why?Kashmiri Cricket Bat Makers Have Sued Shark Tank India 3?
In the episode, Tramboo Sports claimed they are the sole manufacturers of Kashmir willow cricket bats. The CBMAK has strongly refuted the claim in a conversation with Kashmir.com. Furthermore, it added that the claims are misleading the public and thus causing significant harm to its members¡¯ businesses.
"The bats manufactured by CBMAK members are highlighted for their superior quality, with various star cricketers endorsing and utilising them. This sets the stage for the association¡¯s claims against Tramboo Sports," the delegation said.
"We express astonishment at the claims made by Tramboo Sports on the ¡®Shark Tank India¡¯ Season 3 episode dated 30th January 2024," it added.
Cricket Bat Manufacturers Association of Kashmir has sought Rs 100 crores as compensation and demanded an apology within 15 days from both Sony Pictures Networks as well as Tramboo Sports.
"We contend that Tramboo Sports' false assertions have led to a severe jolt in the sales and supply of CBMAK members' bats. The claims have also misled the public and purchasers, tarnishing the image of the indigenous industry," it said.
"CBMAK emphasises its role as the true and only representative of Kashmir¡¯s cricket bat manufacturers," the association said.
