Spot-fixing scandal raises pressure on BCCI president N Srinivasan to quit
Friday, May 24, 2013
Pressure mounted for the resignation of BCCI President N
Srinivasan in the wake of alleged involvement of his son-
in-law and CSK team owner Gurunath Meiyappan in betting
on IPL matches even as questions were raised over the
future of Chennai franchise.
The 35-year-old Gurunath, who has been summoned by Mumbai
Police for questioning after actor Vindoo Dara Singh
implicated him in betting, flew to Mumbai from Madurai in
a chartered aircraft a little after the 5 pm deadline set
by police for questioning.
After consultations at the estate of his father-in-law
and BCCI President Srinivasan, Gurunath drove to Madurai
and left for Mumbai in a special aircraft accompanied by
a noted Chennai lawyer P S Raman.
In attempts to cut losses, India Cements, which owns
Chennai Superkings and is run by Srinivasan, sought to
distance itself from Gurunath, saying he is neither the
owner nor CEO or the Team Principal of CSK.
