IPL spot-fixing probe: BCCI panel's report comes under the scanner
- 5 years ago
Kolkata: Questions are being raised over the clean chit the two-member probe panel has given to Indian cricket board chief N. Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan and Rajasthan Royals' co-owner Raj Kundra in the Indian Premier League (IPL) spot-fixing scandal.
The exoneration could pave way for Srinivasan to move back to the main fold of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) but a section of the members feel his future could depend on whether any member openly challenges the report of the two-member probe body.
Though most members are likely to remain silent, the likes of former BCCI chief Inderjit Singh Bindra coming out in the open to oppose the probe body report cannot be ruled out. Matters may even head to the law courts if a Public interest Litigation is filed, watchers of the game say.
Bindra earlier had pointed out to BCCI interim president Jagmohan Dalmiya that retired judges R. Balasubramanian and Jayaram T. Chouta, constituting the inquiry panel, were not fit for the job since they are close to P. Raman, who is the lawyer for Meiyappan, Super Kings team principal. Super Kings are owned by Srinivasan-headed India Cements.
The committee report said Meiyappan's arrest for betting had no bearing on the involvement of India Cements - and correspondingly - its managing director Srinivasan, and there was no evidence of any CSK money being used for betting by its principal.
