Spot Fixing: A shocked and saddened BCCI suspends pacer S Sreesanth and two other Rajasthan Royals players accused of spot-fixing in the IPL and vowed to take strictest action against them if found guilty after an inquiry. BCCI however promises a thorough probe into the scandal.
In a statement issued by BCCI, the board said it would cooperate with the Delhi Police during the course of investigation. It also added that it was unfortunate to see players indulging in corruption despite getting good contracts from their franchises.
The cricketers and bookies have been charged under sections 420 i.e cheating and 120B i.e criminal conspiracy of the Indian Penal Code and are being flown in to Delhi for further questioning.
