Dear Me. Srinivasan,
‘The BCCI has received intimation from the ICC ostensibly under your direction that |
should keep away from one Mr. Karan Gilhotra who is a ‘suspected bookie’. The intimation
further states thatthe information is unverified. 1 have earlier been the Joint Secretary of the
BCCI under your Presidentship and | am now Secretary, BCCI. 1 only wish that you had
shared the lst of ‘unverified suspected bookies" with me and other colleagues so that we
could identify such persons and Keep away from them. I have known this person who has
been active in the political and cricketing activities in Punjab and adjacent States. I had no
knowledge or any clue about his ‘activities as a suspected bookie’.
1 is curious that intimation about my having known this ‘suspected bookie” was
brought to the ICC notice by your friend Mr. Neeraj Gunde. Mr. Neeraj Gunde incidentally
is cirelating to the media in Delhi the details of documents against your critics inthe BCCL.
He operates on your behalf, A procured complaint and an ICC advisory based on “unverified
information’ was issued at your behest on the eve of the BCCI Working Committee meeting
It was intended to be a counter offensive on your behalf since you have not reconciled with
‘my election as Secretary, BCCI. 1 would request at least now share with me or other
colleagues in BCCI the list of suspected bookies in India, so that we may keep away from
them, You may also share this information with your family members, whose involvement in
betting has been proved.
Since the ICC advisory to me had been made in public, | would be making this letter
10 you public
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
