President of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) N.Srinivasan on Saturday termed the tainted Rajasthan Royals cricketers as "dirty cricketers" who have let the Indian Premier League (IPL) down and should be put behind bars.

"If permitted, we will file a criminal case against them, IPL has not let down people, its the dirty cricketers who have let down people. We feel bad that such a thing has happened. But I don't have to personally apologise as long as people can see that we are acting against the problem" said BCCI chief.

Mwanwhile, Mumbai Police Crime Branch raided Sofitel Hotel in the city, the hotel in which spot-fixing protagonist S.Sreesanth was residing and has recovered a laptop belonging to him.

Raids are likely to be conducted iat a few more places on Saturday.
