Supreme Court asks N Srinivasan, why did he attend BCCI Meeting on February 8

New Delhi: India’s top court on Monday slammed Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief N. Srinivasan for participating in a cricket board meeting on February 8.

Last year, the Supreme Court had asked Srinivasan to step down to ensure a probe into illegal betting during 2013 Indian Premier League (IPL), in which his son-in-law has been indicted.

The involvement of Gurunath Meiyappan, who is married to the daughter of the BCCI president, in the illegal betting case was proved by a court-appointed committee.

The committee had been set up by the Supreme Court. The court has asked for Srinivasan’s stand by February 27.

Narayanaswami Srinivasan is an industrialist and the former President of the BCCI, the governing body for cricket in India and currently the newly elected chairman of International Cricket Council (ICC). He is also the managing director of India Cements Limited.

Srinivasan is being investigated in several scams, including one involving betting on IPL cricket matches, where his son-in-law has been indicted for passing inside information to bookies and is in jail. He is also being investigated as a major investor in the massive corruption surrounding Jagan Mohan Reddy.
