Rauf charged

Pakistan umpire Asad Rauf and the son-in-law of the president of the Indian cricket board, BCCI, were yesterday charged by Mumbai Police in a betting scandal surrounding the Indian Premier League Twenty20 tournament. Gurunath Meiyappan, son-in-law of BCCI president N Srinivasan, was arrested in May after being quizzed by police probing illegal betting on the Twenty20 league. A total of 22 people have been charged for gambling, cheating and fraud, the police said. The 57-year-old Rauf, who has officiated 48 test matches and 98 one-day internationals, was removed from the Champions Trophy panel in May by the International Cricket Council following reports of his involvement in the IPL scandal.
