N Srinivasan wasn't involved in IPL spot-fixing: Mudgal committee report

N Srinivasan has not been found guilty in the 2013 IPL spot-fixing case

N Srinivasan and his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan were handed clean chits by the Mudgal committee in the IPL spot-fixing case on Monday.

Another key information that came out to the public, along with the duo’s non-involvement in the activities, was the indictment of Rajasthan Royals’s co-owner Raj Kundra in connection with betting. The committee’s findings said that while Srinivasan wasn't involved in the activities, he didn't take any steps in preventing such activities from taking place despite knowing about them.

“Srinivasan and four others were aware of the violation of Players Code of Conduct but did not take any action,” the report said. Crucially, the report also said that the India Cements-boss didn’t interfere with the IPL probe in any manner.

After the news broke out, the 69-year-old said, "Thank you so much, will react after reading the judgment."

His son-in-law, Gurunath Meiyappan, was found only to have met a bookie in his hotel room, but no evidence was found about his involvement in betting.

"Investigations have confirmed that this individual was an official of the Chennai [Super Kings] team franchise. There is no material available on record to show that this individual was involved in match-fixing,” the report said.

The report also said that Raj Kundra had violated the IPL Anti-Corruption Code by keeping himself in contact with a bookie with regards to betting. It also said that the Rajasthan Police had stopped their investigation against the London-born businessman.

The panel told the Supreme Court (SC) that IPL COO Sundar Raman, the 4th non-player in the group, also had contacts with a bookie.

"Sundar Raman knew a contact of a bookie and had contacted him eight times in one season," revealed the report.
