Used as a pawn by Sharad Pawar to get to N Srinivasan, reveals Vindoo Dara Singh

Vindu Dara Singh, one of those allegedly involved in the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal, made some startling claims in a sting operation conducted by Zee Media Corp. The Bollywood actor claimed that the entire IPL match-fixing fiasco was actually a fight between Union Agriculture Minister and NCP chief Sharad Pawar and BCCI president N Srinivasan. 

While talking to a Zee Media Corp reporter, Vindoo claimed, “This entire case is actually a tussle between Modi and Srinivasan. We have nothing to do with it...Lalit Modi just needed a chance to get Srinivasan out.”

In the video, Vindoo claimed he was being used as a pawn to get to Srinivasan. “They (cops) said, ‘We know you haven’t done anything, but there’s pressure from Sharad Pawar sahab and until Srinivasan isn’t nabbed you will have to stay. You will have to stay here for 10-15 days or a month’,” he said.

He also claimed that Gurunath Meiyappan had lost a huge bet. Asked why he was chosen, Vindoo said, “Gurunath is Srinivasan’s son-in-law. If anything is proved against Guru then…” 

The controversial actor also added that the IPL is “100% fixed” and that he is only aware of one owner who is directly involved in betting, Vijay Mallya.
