| Amid growing clamor for BCCI chief N Srinivasan's resignation in the wake of betting allegations against his son-in-law, IPL Commissioner and cricket board member Rajeev Shukla today suggested that he should "stay away" from the probe till a three-member panel completes its investigation. But Mr Srinivasan seems to have defied the advice.
1.
Mr Shukla met BCCI disciplinary committee member Arun Jaitley at his residence this morning and told reporters, "Mr Srinivasan claims he is innocent. He is an elected president. We have told him that during the probe he should keep a distance. We are concerned about the image of the BCCI. But ultimately it is his own decision." (Watch what he said)
2.
Sources say the two leaders wanted Mr Srinivasan to step aside while the probe is on and asked him not to attend BCCI meetings and events. But rejecting the suggestion, the BCCI chief today held meetings at the board's office in Mumbai.
3.
Mr Srinivasan's son-in-law, Gurunath Meiyappan, has been arrested by the police over charges of betting in IPL matches. But the BCCI chief has so far maintained that these accusations are no reason for him to quit.
4.
Most politicians on the powerful cricket board maintained silence over the matter for very long, but the fissures inside the board are now slowly showing.
5.
Yesterday, the board's disciplinary committee member Jyotiraditya Scindia suggested that Mr Srinivasan must step down to ensure an impartial probe against his son-in-law. The BCCI president however brushed aside Mr Scindia's suggestion saying "it was his own view".
