RR, Kundra to dominate BCCI emergent WC meet

New Delhi, June 9: Crisis-ridden Rajasthan Royals and its under-fire co-owner Raj Kundra’s future hangs in balance as the BCCI’s Emergent Working Committee meets here tomorrow to deliberate on the IPL spot-fixing and betting scam and take action, if required.
The Board’s head of the interim arrangement, Jagmohan Dalimya, was forced to call the meeting after the Delhi Police claimed that Kundra, a minority shareholder in Rajasthan Royal, has confessed to betting during the IPL matches.
The BCCI is under immense pressure to take a tough stand in a bid to restore the credibility of the IPL which has taken a severe beating following the scandals.
“The entire Raj Kundra issue will be discussed at length. The members may also recommend that he should be suspended till the probe is completed. If he is found guilty, action will be taken. If he gets a clean chit, he can return to the position”, a top BCCI official said.
If the charges are proved, Rajasthan Royals face the prospect of being terminated from the IPL and to avoid this fate, the franchise has already distanced itself from Kundra.
The team is, in fact, ready to dump Kundra to save the franchise, stating that the businessman has no involvement in its running and would be suspended if found guilty.(PTI)
