First topic message reminder :
Three Rajasthan Royals players - Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila - have been suspended by the BCCI after being taken by police for questioning over their alleged involvement in corruption in the IPL. The franchise issued a statement saying that they had been "taken by surprise" by the development.
A case has been registered at the Marine Drive police station in Mumbai under sections 420, which deals with cheating, and 120 (b), which deals with criminal conspiracy, of the Indian Penal Code - there is no specific law covering cheating in sport. The players are in the custody of Delhi police.
"We have been informed that three of our players have been called in for investigation on spot fixing in matches. We are completely taken by surprise. We do not have the full facts at this point and are unable to confirm anything," Rajasthan Royals said in a statement. "We are in touch with the BCCI on this matter. We will fully cooperate with the authorities to ensure a thorough investigation. The management at Rajasthan Royals has a zero-tolerance approach to anything that is against the spirit of the game."
The BCCI said it was "shocked and saddened" at the news. "We will offer all cooperation to the Delhi police and all other authorities in their investigations in this matter. The IPL Governing Council has met and decided that the cricketers found involved will be dealt with severely," the board said in a statement. "As of now, the 3 players Ankeet Chavan, Ajit Chandila and Sreesanth stand suspended pending enquiry. All information required to bring the persons involved to book will be collected and strictest action will be taken, if found guilty."
India's Sports Ministry called for the IPL authorities to hand out punishments that would serve as deterrants if the players were found to be involved. "It is very unfortunate that Delhi Police have arrested some cricket players for their alleged role in the spot fixing in the ongoing IPL tournament," the Ministry said in a statement. "The Minister of Sports, Shri Jitendra Singh has spoken to chairman of the IPL Shri Rajeev Shukla on the issue and impressed upon him to take urgent steps to put in place a mechanism to prevent such unethical activities and ensure clean sports in the country. The Minister also emphasised that strict action be taken against all those who are found guilty to serve as a deterrent to others."
