Extremely upset with the decision of the Supreme Court appointed committee in the Indian Premier League (IPL) fixing case, Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj Kundra on Tuesday said that there were many inaccuracies, adding that he was shocked and disappointed.
"Many inaccuracies...Have requested for a copy of the judgement- obviously very shocked and disappointed," said 39-year-old Kundra on Twitter.
The three-member Supreme Court appointed committee headed by Justice R.M. Lodha has found Chennai Super Kings (CSK) official Gurunath Meiyappan and Rajasthan Royals (RR) co-owner Raj Kundra guilty, and imposed life suspensions on the duo.
Speaking on Kundra, Justice Lodha had while reading out the verdict said that he was constantly placing bets through a known punter and was in touch with the bookies. He added that Kundra has, therefore, been found guilty of misconduct.
"He is declared ineligible to participate in the game of cricket as explained in Anti-Corruption Code for the maximum period of five years as explained in Article 2.2.1. He is suspended for life on activities as explained in Article 7.5 under level four, first offence of Article 2.4 of the Code of Conduct. He is suspended for life for being involved with the BCCI in any type of cricket matches under Section 6, rule 4.2.," he added.
