Srini, Dhoni on Meiyappan as cric enthusiast proved wrong: SC

Supreme Court today noted that the stand taken by Cricketer M S Dhoni and BCCI chief-in-exile N Srinivasan that Gurunath Meiyappan had nothing to do with the Chennai Super Kings and was merely a cricket enthusiast was proved wrong by the Justice Mukul Mudgal committee.
"N Srinivasan and M S Dhoni, in their depositions before the Committee, took the stand that Gurunath Meiyappan had nothing to do with the cricketing affairs of CSK and that he was only a cricketing enthusiast.
"That stand was proved to be factually wrong by the Probe Committee who found that Gurunath Meiyappan was a team official who had access to sensitive match information not available to any ordinary cricketing enthusiast," a bench headed by Justice T S Thakur said.
