He was indicted in an inquiry report submitted by a Supreme Court-appointed probe committee.<br /> <br />The involvement of Gurunath Meiyappan, who is married to the daughter of BCCI president N. Srinivasan, was proved in the illegal betting case, the committee said in a report, a copy of which was seen by Reuters.<br /> <br />Meiyappan was arrested in late May by Mumbai Police probing illegal betting on the cash-rich Twenty20 league but was released on bail within two weeks.<br /> <br />Legal sports betting in India is confined to horse racing.<br /> <br />Local media claimed Meiyappan was chief executive of the Chennai Super Kings but India Cements, the company that owns the franchise, said he was merely a member of team management.<br /> <br />The scandal surfaced when former test bowler Shanthakumaran Sreesanth and two other local cricketers were arrested on suspicion of taking money to concede a fixed number of runs.<br /> <br />Sreesanth, who denied any wrongdoing, was subsequently banned for life by the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India).<br /><br /><br />For More information on this news visit : http://www.newsx.com/<br />Connect with us on Social platform at : http://www.facebook.com/newsxonline<br />Subscribe to our YouTube Channel : http://www.youtube.com/newsxlive
