New Delhi: India’s and Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) pacer Mohammed Siraj has reported a “corrupt approach” to Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) Anti Corruption Unit (ACU) from a man who wanted inside information after losing a lot of money while betting.
Unknow man contacted Siraj
As per the report issued by BCCI to Press Trust of India (PTI) that unknown man wanted inside information about the RCB, after he had lost a significant amount of money in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match.
Siraj immediately reported to ACU
The 29-year-old pacer Siraj was approached during the India vs Australia One Day International (ODI) series in March, just before the IPL began. Siraj then swiftly reported the matter to ACU officials.
It has been known that the man was not a bookie but was just a rickshaw driver who was addicted to batting and suffered huge losses.
“It wasn’t a bookie who approached Siraj. It is a driver from Hyderabad who is addicted to betting on matches,” a senior BCCI source told PTI. “He had lost huge money, and approached Siraj for inside information.
“Siraj reported the approach immediately. The law enforcement authorities have nabbed the man. More details are being awaited.”
