Probe finds BCCI boss’ kin guilty in IPL scandal
Print Edition
The newly-elected boss of world cricket N Srinivasan suffered a blow yesterday when an Indian Supreme Court panel probing a match-fixing scandal said his son-in-law was guilty of illegal betting on games.
After an extensive investigation, the three-member panel also said allegations of match-fixing against Gurunath Meiyappan during the Indian Premier League required further probe.
“Roots of corruption and malpractices have crept in deep into the game of cricket, more particularly the IPL, and are seeping into the game at an alarming rate,” the panel said in its 170-page report.
The panel, headed by retired judge Mukul Mudgal, suggested that Meiyappan may have passed on team information to outsiders for illegal betting.
Meiyappan was the team principal of Chennai Super Kings, an IPL franchise owned by India Cements Company of Srinivasan, who is also chairman of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, and captained by national skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
The court had appointed the panel on October 8 to investigate the scandal that last year rocked the popular Twenty20 tournament run by the BCCI.
