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”.
The Mudgal Committee in its report had observed that Raman’s role should be further investigated. On the day, justice Mudgal welcomed Raman’s resignation. “There were allegations that incidents of betting were reported to him but action was not taken. That has been put in our report that we submitted to the court,” he said.
“He should have resigned when the Supreme Court ordered investigation. These are personal decisions and one can’t impose one’s moral standards on the other. But better late than never,” he added. Raman is scheduled to appear before the Lodha Committee on November 15.
