Kolkata: Head of Indian Cricket Board’s Anti-Corruption Unit Neeraj Kumar today called on Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Jagmohan Dalmiya for a closed door meeting on his return from the Bangladesh series. “It was an informal meeting and details of the discussions are not known,” a Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) official said. The former Delhi Police Commissioner was with the Indian team during the just-concluded ODI series as a designated anti-corruption official.
A report in Thursday’s edition of The Times of India claimed that the committee met Dalmiya in Kolkata on Wednesday but was surprised to receive a request from the 75-year-old to be allowed to be accompanied by his son Abhishek at the meeting since he had “illness-related problems”.
“Based on the publication of an alleged news article in one of the leading newspapers relating to the President of the Board, contents of which are based on mere surmise and conjecture apart from being defamatory, the BCCI would like to hereby clarify that the proceedings of the Hon’ble Justice Lodha Committee are highly privileged and confidential in nature and that all interactions with the Hon’ble Committee as part of its proceedings, take place behind closed doors only thereby maintaining strict confidentiality,” BCCI said in a statement.
