NEW DELHI — (Associated Press) - The son-in-law of Indian cricket board boss and ICC chairman-designate Narainswamy Srinivasan has been found guilty of passing on information to illegal bookmakers by a committee investigating match fixing in the Indian Premier League.
The Justice Mukul Mudgal Committee found Chennai Super Kings team principal, Gurunath Meiyappan, guilty of involvement in match fixing in its report Monday to India’s Supreme Court. The finding comes after the Bombay High Court last year referred to the two-member Board of Control for Cricket in India panel, that initially cleared Meiyappan of the charges, as “illegal and unconstitutional.”
Meiyappan spent two weeks in jail last year for being in touch with illegal bookmakers before being bailed.
Rajasthan Royals co-owner, Raj Kundra, previously conceded to betting on matches during initial investigations but was not arrested.
