IPL Scam: Supreme Court Asks Justice Mukul Mudgal to Carry on Probe
In spite of opposition from the Board of Control for cricket in India, the Supreme Court has asked Justice Mukul Mudgal to carry on the probe into the IPL spot-fixing and betting controversy that rocked Indian cricket last year. The two-judge Bench ordered on Friday that a report must be submitted in a sealed envelope by August end.
Justice Mudgal had headed a three-man committee that investigated the IPL scam. It had submitted a report to the Supreme Court on February 10. The focus of the second round of probe will be on the 13 names mentioned in a sealed envelope. Suspended BCCI president N. Srinivasan is one of the 13 names.
The Supreme Court on Friday said that a group of investigators headed by senior IPS officer BB Mishra will assist the Mudgal Committee in the probe. The probe panel will have all the powers to probe, search and seize relevant documents and record evidence. The committee will have all the powers except the power to arrest.
