Reports | BCCI probing serious developments in TNPL corruption case
The coming days are going to be a test for the Tamil Nadu Premier League as an internal investigation by the BCCIâs Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU), has found widespread corruption in the T20 competition. Sources reveal that âimportant persons in touch with bookies are spreading in different teamsâ.
After a series of revelations about the epidemic corruption going on in the Tamil Nadu Premier League, the BCCI have reportedly started a probe and have found that bookies and match-fixers are running âthe team in such a way that they make windfall gain in bettingâ. These bookmakers have taken control of a franchise through an illegal deal with the team owner.
According to a report by the Indian Express, there's been a âserious developmentâ in this case taken up by BCCIâs Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) that might dissolve the entire TNPL. The ACU is taking legal opinion on this issue and is likely to lodge an FIR with the state police in the coming days.
BCCIâs ACU chief Ajit Singh said there were âa few instances when players were approachedâ and it's the first such instance in a high-profile BBCCI-recognised tournament, something that has been happening in unofficial micro-T20 leagues for a long time.
âThese players have informed us and we are checking who have approached them. We are taking statements asking when they were approached, under what circumstances. Usually, the messages come on WhatsApp, so we are trying to establish IDs. We havenât questioned any team owners, yet,â said Ajit Singh, reported Indian Express.
