Srinivasan says there is nothing for him to resign!
Money Trail of IPL Match Fixings trail.
That a certain Dawood Ibrahim and his kin control the cricket betting network is an open secret. What, however, is surprising, even admirable, is the deftness and corporate-style dexterity with which the syndicate functions…
The well-connected Tiku Mandi got in touch with a host of Indian bookies. Jupiter, Baburao Yadav, Jiju Janardhan and Amit Singh are the ones contacted. Janardhan got in touch with S Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila who ‘fix’ spots in various games.
Vindu- Guru link
Where does small time actor –celebrity Vindu Dara Singh come into picture? Well Ramesh Vyas, the middleman between Jr Kolkat and Tiku Mandi, got in touch with Vindu, who in turn contacted Chennai Super Kings CEO Gurunath Meiyappan. Mumbai Police maintains that Vindu and Guru spoke to each other over 130 times. Vindu’s call records further reveal he was in “constant touch” with the bookies. Gurunath reportedly placed bets on 9 IPL games, before deciding to trade team secrets to Vindu in lieu of about Rs. 1 crore that he had lost in betting..
N.Srinivasan , the BCCI President refused to quit saying he has done no wrong,even after his son-in-law Gurunath Meyappan was arrested for contacts with the bookies and his confession he bet on the IPL matches .
Following is the full text of BCCI President N Srinivasan‘s statement at the press conference on Sunday.
The last few days have been difficult for the BCCI and for me as the President. You will appreciate that these days have also been very difficult for me as a father and as father-in-law. However, I sit here as the President of the BCCI and put aside all personal feelings. I can assure you that I will not shirk from my duties.
However difficult it may be, the BCCI will act without fear and favour to investigate and, if the circumstances warrant, punish any player and match officials, team management or franchise that have breached BCCI or IPL regulation.
The BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Unit report on the allegation of spot-fixing by the Rajasthan Royals players S Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan, Ajit Chandila and Amit Singh will be issued on time. The BCCI will continue to offer assistance to the police and if the inquries bring any suspicion on any other players.
With regard to Mr Gurunath M, the legal process has already started and he’s facing police investigation. The BCCI has already taken the decision to provisionally suspend him from all activities in cricket and particularly from all involvement within CSK franchise.
The disciplinary procedure under the operational rules shall be initiated and the commission including at least one member who is entirely independent to the BCCI will be formed to adjudicate whether Mr Gurunath is in breach of rules that require all persons subject to the operational rules not to act in any way which would have an adverse effect on the image or the reputation of the BCCI or the IPL which would otherwise bring the entity into disrepute.
The management of the other franchise, the Rajasthan Royals, will also be subject to same procedure. I am not part of this commission and I will not play any role in its appointment, deliberations or decision.
If anyone is found in breach or liable under the operational rules … the operation rules provide a number of potential sanctions ranging from fine to suspensions and in the extreme the termination of the franchise.
There has been a lot of media comment on Clause 11.3 of the franchise agreement and whether Mr Gurunath is an owner of the franchise. It is for this commission to look into this.”
If Gurunath is not connected to IPL, BCCI, why is he suspended by the BCCI and from what?
In a release issued on Sunday morning, the Indian board said: “The BCCI has taken note of the detention by Mumbai Police of Gurunath Meiyappan, who is a member of the team management of Chennai Super Kings. As an accredited team official, Mr Meiyappan is subject to the provisions of the IPL operational rules and the BCCI anti-corruption code for participants. Pending further investigations and any subsequent hearing by the BCCI disciplinary committee or the IPL code of behaviour committee, Mr Meiyappan has been suspended by the BCCI.”
IPL Fair Play Awards.
Gurunath Meyappan’s IPL Pass
IPL site removed the name of Chennai Super Kings from the Fair Play Award List in its site yesterday.
Yet CSK was awarded the IPL fair Play Award yesterday, after CSK lost its Final Match to Mumbai Indians!
CSK’s Loss in the Finals:
“It will look ridiculous if CSK wins’and the Trophy is presented to Srinivasan by the BCCI Charman Rajiv Shukla.
So, lose the match convincingly to enable the golden goose alive”
Was thet the instruction to CSK?
Looks so, considering the way Dhoni sent in Bravo instead of him coming in at the crease when wickets were falling, the ridiculous, almost voluntary gifting away of wickets by the CSK.
Srinivasan seems to be emerging as the Sonia Gandhi of BCCI!
Sreesanth,Chandila ,Chavan and eleven bookies were arrested for spot-fining the IPL 6 Matches yesterday.
Chandila,Sreesanth and Chavan
Following a tip-off that the Dawood Ibrahim gang was involved in Cricket T20 IPL 6, the Police started investigations from April first week.
The Police inform that they had taped conversations of the accused with them.
Excerpts of the tapped conversations.
IPL 6 Match Fixers ,Chavan,Sreesanth and Chandila.
Here are excerpts of taped conversations allegedly between bookies and the players released by the Delhi Police today.
The police say this first conversation took place before a match between the Pune Warriors and the Rajasthan Royals on May 5, allegedly between spinner Ajit Chandila and a bookie named Amit:
The conversations reveal that,
“The conversations reveal that two bookies, Manan and Chand, “arranged” women for Sreesanth and Ajit Chandila on at least three occasions, Indian Express reported.
The conversations have references to the times of despatch and arrival of the women, police officers said.
A third player, also of the Rajasthan Royals, too accepted the services of escorts provided by the bookies, the transcripts reveal. But this player was apparently not involved in spot-fixing.
Biju alias Jiju, the alleged go-between for Sreesanth, also availed of the escorts’ services, the report said.”(IndiaTV News)
Chandila: Yes, tell me brother. Let me go. I will give the signal. Let the first over go. I will see.
Amit: Do the first over with confidence and with same confidence do the second over for us.
Chandila: Ok, Ok. I will do.
Amit: What will be your signal?
Chandila: I will pull my both T-shirts up and down and will then look up before starting the over.
In this over, Chandila, however, forgot to give the signal but allegedly gave away 14 runs as promised.
Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar told reporters: “This led to a lot of arguments and demand for return of money (Rs. 20 lakh) advanced to him. Another Rs. 20 lakh was to be given after the match. Chandila had to return the money.”
=========================================
The second conversation was allegedly between Sreesanth’s close friend Jiju Janardhan, who has played in the same club as the Kerala pacer, and a bookie named Chand before a May 9 match between Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab. It was allegedly decided that Sreesanth would give away at least 14 runs in the second over he bowled.
Chand: What will be the signal?
Jiju: I have told him. He will not do anything which is unusual. He will tuck in a towel before bowling the second over.
Chand: Brother please advise him to give us some time before starting the over as we can start our booking.
==========================================
The third conversation was allegedly between players Chandila and Ankeet Chavan before yesterday’s match between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians. Chandila was not playing and allegedly “motivated” Chavan convincing him to give at least 13 runs in his second over.
Chavan: I am outside.
Chandila: Ok. Should I say yes?
Chavan: Yes, but how much?
Chandila: They are saying 12.
Chavan: No, I don’t think that’s possible. It will be too much.
Chandila: I have given them assurance. It will be done. Should I say yes?
Chavan: Ok. say yes.
Chandila: I have told them 60 (lakh) for one over.
Chavan: Yes Ok. I will move my wrist band as an indication. Rest we will talk on BBM.
Police said that in a later call, it was decided that Chavan will give away 14 or more runs whenever he bowls his second over.
