The issue of match fixing has often come to light in the country. How do players avoid this issue? Former Delhi Police Commissioner has made a big disclosure about this on Sunday.
He said that anti-corruption laws are not very strict in Indian sports. This is the reason that despite there being strong evidence of spot-fixing, no harm has been done to players like former Indian cricket team fast bowler S Sreesanth. Sreesanth’s name came up in the match fixing case in IPL 2013.Sreesanth survived despite the evidence
A special cell team led by former Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar arrested Sreesanth and his fellow Rajasthan Royals cricketers Ajit Chandila and Ankit Chauhan on spot-fixing charges.
The Supreme Court in 2019 said there was enough evidence against the former player and asked the BCCI to reconsider imposing a lifetime ban, but ultimately reduced the punishment to a seven-year suspension, which ended in 2020.There is no law against corruption in cricket
Neeraj Kumar said that there is no law against corruption in cricket in our country. If we talk about other countries, there are laws in countries like Zimbabwe, Australia, New Zealand. There is corruption not only in cricket but also in football, tennis and golf.
He said there is a lack of laws to deal with corruption in sports. The former police commissioner said that when we tell the court that people have been cheated due to match fixing, the court asks who has been cheated, bring him. This is why it is difficult to prove this case in court without any victim.
