IPL COO Sundar Raman quits

Indian Premier League chief operating officer Sundar Raman, who resigned on Monday, came under fire following the outbreak of the controversy, involving former BCCI president N. Srinivasan’s son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan and Rajasthan Royals’ then co-owner Raj Kundra. and for allegedly not acting on spot-fixing complaints during the 2013 IPL edition.

In December last year when the Supreme Court made certain parts of the Mudgal Committee report public, Raman was decreed to have been “in touch with a contact of a bookmaker eight times during the last IPL season”. When questioned, he “admitted” he “knew” a contact of the bookie, but claimed that he was “unaware of his connection with betting activities”.
