Pepsi Indian Premier League - Season 6

[CEDYBLUE]

People like Arnab was yesterday accusing the Cricketing authorities of exploiting all cricket fans of India. Might very well be true.

But by senseless sensationalizing of any news without any concrete evidence, what are these media houses and journalists like Arnab doing to common people of India? It's pretty much the same.

Sometimes, relentless media pressure might force all concerned to bring out the absolute truth. But jumping on to conclusions without any concrete evidence is not doing any good to the person-in-question or the investigation or the common people. Will Arnab apologize to the concerned person or the people of India, if the charges are cleared by the Law?

Amidst all these games between the governing body, players, bookies, police and the media, the plight of an average cricket fan is sorry-worthy.

Nw police is revealing tat Guru did betting since 2011 ... nd it s around Rs . 1 cr..

is it true ???

[CEDYBLUE]

Police 'sources' have been revealing quite a lot to these media channels and except for the charges on the 3 players and the 15 odd bookies, as confirmed by the Delhi and Mumbai police, nothing is official.

Vindoo has been arrested and the police have found that he was in touch with Gurunath Meyyapan. To clear the air, the police has summoned Guru. The story ends there. Everything else is speculation based on information gathered by the media houses from 'sources'.

There should be a strict law prohibiting these 'sources' from leaking information to media, if what the media says is true. These 'sources' should be treated as culprits.

Everybody wants a piece of credit. If the detailed briefing of the Delhi commissioner was noteworthy, then we had a pretty dramatic and quite senseless 'media conference' from the Mumbai commissioner. Now there seems to be a tug-off-war between the two police departments, as to who takes more credit.

Lesser known personnel from the police who will not be allowed to show their face and worth to the media are turning out to be 'sources' to the media.

Cricket today is run by private companies who are very smart in identifying loop holes and find ways of escaping. Right from auctioing of players to the staging of matches and the hype surrounding these matches and the collusion of media, filmstars , etc, points only to corruption. None of the IPL franchisee owners or the BCCI top brass are known to do anything good for cricket. The only objective these owners have is to fill up their coffers by any means .They have no sympathy to the cricket fans of this country and do not mind to exploit them to any levels. It looks very sad when you find a lot of fans put behind fences in a stadium and made to shout like brainless animals and few elite sit in the VIP boxes and enjoy this madness.
With so many bookies arrested in all cricket playing cities it is very clear that they make big money out of all these contests with the backing of the top brass of IPL. Otherwise what is the necessity of so many bookies being active in Chennai, Mumbai, Calcutta, Delhi, etc,. It is also very much possible that these intelligent people would have made all arrangements to escape from the laws and protect the huge money that they have made in the last few years. All these will be covered up smartly and these culprits will wait for the next opputunity to make hay.

Honest cricketers should be made the decision makers of BCCI and stop involvement of corporates in cricket who are out their to make money at any given oppurtunity and not at all bothered about the state of cricket. Cheer leaders , skimpily clad girls with little knowledge of cricket chatting with top cricketers, excellent advertisements for Kingfisher beers, mansion house brandies, etc , are the innovations of IPL management teams and its franchises. They will stoop to any level to further their interest. It is surprising that still their are quite a few fans who support their teams / fans in the present situation.

Three CSK players 'linked' to spot-fixing probe ?

Three Chennai Super Kings players, one of them quite senior, were in touch with Vindoo Dara Singh during the ongoing T20 season, the actor, arrested in connection with the spot-fixing probe, has told investigators. "Yes, he has dropped some names, we are verifying the authenticity of his claims," said the joint commissioner of police (crime), Himanshu Roy, who refused to reveal the identities of the cricketers.

The police might question the players once they corroborate Vindoo's claims, sources said.

The small-time Bollywood actor, arrested by the Mumbai police on May 21 for betting and his alleged links to bookies, is emerging as a key link in the spot-fixing scandal that has rocked Season 6 of cricket's richest tournament.

His interrogation has brought the fixing scandal to the door of CSK, which is owned by India's cricket board chief N Srinivasan.

On Thursday, a team of the Mumbai Police was in Chennai to question Gurunath Meiyappan, Srinivasan's son-in-law and CSK 'principal', or CEO, as his name allegedly figured prominently during the interrogation of Vindoo, known as Jack in betting circles. The team drew a blank as Meiyappan was not home.

However, in a message faxed to the Mumbai police, Meiyappan said he would appear before the police at 11am Monday. "We have informed the Mumbai Police that it's impossible for him to appear on a short notice since he is out of town with his family," adviser to the Meiyappan family and senior counsel in the Madras high court, PS Raman, told HT over telephone late on Thursday. Raman, who claimed that he was unaware of his client's whereabouts, said he was yet to hear from the police.

When contacted, the additional commissioner of Police, Niket Kaushik, said they had received the fax from Gurunath's lawyer late in the evening and would take a decision on the request on Friday morning.

Himanshu Roy said the police were probing how Vindoo suddenly made a killing during the ongoing season, pocketing a neat Rs. 17 lakh through betting.
"This is strange since he lost heavily in the previous five seasons," he said.

During the day in Chennai, a team of the Mumbai Police's crime branch was literally red-flagged when it reached the Cenotaph Road residence of Meiyappan. A red flag was fluttering atop the house -- an indication, said locals, that no one was home.

Meiyappan was not at his office in the India Cements building either, Roy said. The CSK office is housed in the building as well. Srinivasan is the vice-chairman and MD of India Cements.

A copy of the summons -- asking Meiyappan to appear before the crime branch in Mumbai on Friday between 11am and 5pm -- was pasted at his house and another handed over to an employee at the CSK office, Roy said.

The police had summoned Meiyappan as they wanted to bring him face-to-face with Vindoo, whose police remand would end on Friday.

SS, I was saying, only that much was official at that point. Everything including Guru's 1C betting etc., was speculation.

[SoftSword]

not confirmed... but of all the other franchisee owners/management why only his name is pulled, and for summoning they would not do it just like that... something seriously cooking i must say...

While at 4.50 pm, Meiyappan's Twitter handle clearly said, "Team Principal, Chennai Super Kings,", twenty minutes later, after it was reported by CNN-IBN, the information had been removed and the Twitter handle said, "Managing Director, AVM productions and entertainment, AVM studios, AVM constructions."
