BCCI chief N. Srinivasan's bid to save his arrested son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan by distancing him from both the Chennai Super Kings team and the former's cricket role has been exposed.
Srinivasan had said Meiyappan was merely an enthusiastic fan of the Chennai team. But Headlines Today has evidence to nail the BCCI boss's lie. Meiyappan's identity card which gave him unfettered access to the auction and players at the dugout describes him as one of the CSK principals.
After the spot-fixing scandal came to light, the CSK management had promptly erased Meiyappan's name from the team website and even edited his twitter account bio that had flaunted his credentials as owner of the team. But the ID card clearly shows Meiyappan was a lot more than what Srinivasan would like us to believe.
Email trail
It's not just the ID cards recovered from Meiyappan's residence that nail the BCCI chief's lies. An email from IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla in December 2011 also calls the BCCI chief's bluff. The mail, which was sent by Shukla to all owners, has Meiyappan's name as one of the receipients. This mail invited owners of IPL franchises to attend a workshop on January 9 and 10, 2012.
