Will give up my shares if any wrongdoing found: Raj Kundra http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/news/Will-give-up-my-shares-if-any-wrongdoing-found-Raj-Kundra/articleshow/30174046.cms Facing heat over Supreme Court-appointed Committee's report, Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj Kundra today said that he will give up shares in the IPL team if any wrongdoing was found on his part. "If an iota of wrongdoing is found from my side I will give up my share," said Kundra after a report of the three-member committee headed by former Punjab and Haryana Chief Justice Mukul Mudgal was presented to the Supreme Court today. The report said the allegation of betting and spot fixing against Kundra need further investigation. "They (Delhi Police) have taken four months. Let's wait for some more time. We have been supporting them. We have no issues," he said. "They have obviously gone for the lowest hanging fruit and that's unfortunate," he added. The committee has indicted Gurunath Meiyappan for betting and passing of team information during IPL matches that has come as a major embarrassment for his father-in-law and BCCI President N Srinivasan and could threaten Chennai Super Kings' continuance.

CNN-IBN News ‏@ibnlive Justice Mukul Mudgal on conflict of interest: MS Dhoni said he has no stake in Rhiti sports

Dhoni announces 1st edition of bike festival Jan 12, 2014, 06.37PM IST Indian cricket team skipper and bike enthusiast Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Saturday announced the first edition of the Bike Festival of India, South East Asia's largest bike festival.

The event has been conceptualized by Vikram Shankar- VP of Event Capital and Ikjot Singh- the superbiker who also is the founder MS Dhoni, aside from being one of India's most prolific cricketers, is also a passionate biker and hence has chosen to grace the occasion with his presence. When he's not knocking the ball out of the park, Dhoni is known to hit the road with one of his many bikes. His love of biking is celebrated as much as his batting prowess.

The point is rhiti sports not rhiti companies. It is not debatable it is a fact that he had shares of rhiti sports as well and is in partnership with rhiti.His wife is chairman of one of the rhiti companies and he is in partnership with rhitimsd motorsport and rhit msd alamode is parent company of other dhoni companies. article-2336531-1A2B28A5000005DC-584_964x832.jpg Also they were not probing dhoni conflict of interest but srini.It was just taken at face value as they had no documentary evidence with them to show otherwise

Mudgal Report not likely to hurt Srinivasan yet http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2014/content/story/718015.html Despite the IPL probe committee finding Gurunath Meiyappan, the son-in-law of BCCI president N Srinivasan, to have indulged in corrupt practices in his proven capacity as a team official of Chennai Super Kings, the feeling within the board is that Srinivasan is unlikely to be affected, unless the Supreme Court steps in. Usually, a faction within the BCCI uses such an opportunity to pounce on the people in power. However, with Srinivasan being the undisputed leader, many members believe he will see off this turbulent period as well. "Had there been some sort of a pressure group within the Board, it could have been a different tale," an official who did not want to take sides told ESPNcricinfo. "But with most units happily supporting him, the issue won't have any bearing on the Board's affairs, at least till the next hearing." While most BCCI members termed the probe committee report, which was submitted to the Supreme Court on February 10, "based on assumptions," some admitted that it could affect the future of the Chennai Super Kings franchise and the IPL. "We cannot undermine the fact that it's a court-appointed committee headed by a reputed former judge that has submitted its findings," a seasoned BCCI member said. "If the court admits the report, then it could lead to an upheaval within the BCCI." The Supreme Court will hear the corruption case next on March 7 and its ruling on the Mudgal report will be important for the Chennai Super Kings because of a clause in the IPL franchise agreements. Clause 11.3 © says the agreement can be terminated if, "the Franchise, any Franchise Group Company and/or any owner acts in any way which has a material adverseeffect upon the reputation or standing of the League, BCCI-IPL, BCCI, the Franchise, the team (or any other team in the League) and/or the game of cricket." The term "material adverse effect," however, isn't defined in the agreement. Some BCCI members are of the opinion that until Gurunath's involvement in betting is established, Chennai Super Kings cannot be terminated. "The clause will be applicable only if Meiyappan is found guilty of betting. And as the report itself says, Meiyappan's so-called involvement is based on the assumption that the voice samples sent to the forensic lab arehis. In this case, it would be difficult to apply the clause and oust the franchise," an administrator said, referring to the additional comments made in the report by committee member Nilay Dutta. When asked whether Gurunath's arrest by Mumbai police and the probe committee's finding that he was involved in illegal better had not brought the IPL into disrepute, BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla said it was a matter for the court. "We should wait for the Supreme Court verdict. The panel has given its report to the apex court," he said. "Let the court decide." Lalit Modi, the former IPL chairman and a vocal critic of Srinivasan, however, called for the termination of Chennai Super Kings. "Given these developments, I would like to see the CSK team annulled from all future IPL activity including the forthcoming auctions and the 2014 season as per rules," Modi, said in a statement. "Additionally I think the time is also ripe to make some deep, incisive and sweeping changes to ensure that there is nosystemic failure in the future. "First and foremost I think it is time to disband the IPL Governing Council to ensure that any and all elements of bias are removed. It is time for a new Supervising Board with all the stakeholders of the IPL on it to take charge, run and govern the league. The new Supervising Board with all stakeholders on board should be responsible for conducting and running the tournament albeit at an arm's length. Next and more importantly the immediate need of the hour is to re-auction a new Chennai team. Even more important is to redo the player auction without any player retention.." Despite Modi having held several posts in the BCCI and fighting a court battle to return as Rajasthan Cricket Association president, not many board members pay heed to his remarks. "Whatever he says is borne out of a personal fight with Srinivasan, so we shouldn't pay too much attention to it," a BCCI official said.

posted this in the M$D thread also.... बुकी का खुलासा, धौनी और रैना भी फिक्सिंग में शामिल!

नई दिल्ली। आइपीएल स्पॉट फिक्सिंग में बड़ा खुलासा हुआ है। एक न्यूज चैनल ने कुछ अहम दस्तावेजों के दम पर दावा किया है कि चेन्नई सुपर किंग्स व टीम इंडिया के कप्तान महेंद्र सिंह धौनी और सुरेश रैना की भी इस मामले में भूमिका संदिग्ध रही है। इस चैनल के मुताबिक, उत्तम सिंह नाम के बुकी से पूछताछ में धौनी और रैना के नाम सामने आए हैं। फिलहाल इस मसले पर इन दोनों क्रिकेटरों और बीसीसीआई की प्रतिक्रिया का इंतजार है। कल आइपीएल की नीलामी से पहले यह खुलासा बीसीसीआई और क्रिकेट जगत के लिए बड़ा झटका है। गौरतलब है कि महेंद्र सिंह धौनी से जब स्पॉट फिक्सिंग के खुलासे के बाद गुरुनाथ मयप्पन की भूमिका के बारे में पूछा गया था तो धौनी ने साफ तौर पर कह दिया था कि मयप्पन सिर्फ टीम की हौसला अफजाई के लिए आते थे और टीम में उनकी कोई भूमिका नहीं रही थी। उधर, स्पॉट फिक्सिंग खुलासे के बाद जब अभिनेता बिंदू दारा सिंह के इसमें शामिल होने की बात सामने आई थी तो जांच के बाद धौनी की पत्नी साक्षी धौनी का नाम भी उछला था जिसको लेकर भी काफी विवाद हुआ था। गौरतलब है कि चेन्नई सुपरकिंग्स व इंडिया सीमेंट्स के मालिक श्रीनिवासन ने भी अपने दामाद मयप्पन से इस पूरे खुलासे के बाद किनारा कर लिया था। महेंद्र सिंह धौनी भी इंडिया सीमेंट्स के वाइस प्रेसिडेंट के पद पर हैं जिससे चेन्नई सुपरकिंग्स टीम में एक कप्तान से ज्यादा भूमिका होने पर भी धौनी पर सवाल उठे थे।

The story is based on a page allegedly from the Kitty interrogation report prepared by G Sampath Kumar (SP, Railways, Trichi) and mentions India captain MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina. "Kitty [the bookie’s alias] spoke of his knowledge about Vikram Agarwal,Gurunath Meiyappan and cricket players MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina and a few others, and another person in Rajasthan (suspected to be one of Jaipur brothers) in match-fixing," the report says. Dhoni would certainly qualify to be an important Indian player, as would Suresh Raina, at least in limited-overs games and the IPL in particular. The Mudgal Committee’s final report also mentions that six India players have been accused of collaborating with bookies. While the committee does does not name the players, saying at this stage the allegations are only allegations, it recommends all the allegations be investigated. The names have also been submitted to the Supreme Court in a sealed envelope. It now seems the report contained some potentially explosive information, which is perhaps why it was not shared with the Mudgal Committee. Dhoni certainly deserves the presumption of innocence but given how it appears he misled the Mudgal Committee on Meiyappan's role with CSK, it is clear there is something rotten in the state of Indian cricket. That's why it is time Dhoni made a clear and unambiguous statement to the public. It was something he should have done when the scandal first broke, but he chose instead to stay silent. It is now a case of better late than never. The Indian cricket fans who have showered him with their devotion deserve that much.
