Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and
Suresh Raina are among the six capped Indian players named in the Mudgal
Panel report, media reports claimed on Tuesday.Bookie Uttam
Jain alias Kitti has named Dhoni and Raina in connection with IPL
spot-fixing and betting when confronted by Trichi Railway SP Sampat
Kumar, informed Mudgal. During the sixth edition of the Indian
Premier League, some key Indian players and Bollywood stars were accused
of spot-fixing. The names of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Suresh Raina were
raised in the scandal by the Mudgal Panel report on Tuesday.
During
the interrogations by Trichi Railway SP Sampat Kumar, bookie Uttam Jain
aka Kitti confessed that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni and
team-member Suresh Raina were involved in IPL spot-fixing and betting
scandal, said the Mudgal report. The Mudgal committee also
revealed that a journalist, who was apparently connected with the
recordings of tapes for a sports magazine, was able to identify the
voice of the Indian player and he also revealed that the player was part
of Indian team which lifted the World Cup trophy and is also a member
of the team now.
“However, the journalist refused to unveil the
names of the Indian players indulged in the spot-fixing. He didn’t even
agree to do so, even after repeated requests to put the names of the
players in an envelope which will be opened before the Supreme Court
panel. He seemed to be terrified and reluctant. He pleaded us that it
will be dangerous for his if he reveals the name of the players,” said
the panel report. “Now, it seems that the tapes have the names of
six prominent Indian capped players, who were involved in the IPL 6
spot-fixing scandal. Among those six, two have been named by a former
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president,” revealed the
report.
