Committee of Administrators head Vinod Rai has given BCCI's Anti-Corruption Unit chief Neeraj Kumar one week to submit a report.
Finally, Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) has woken up to the charges of match-fixing against speedster Mohammed Shami.
Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (COA) has asked the its Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) led by Neeraj Kumar to investigate the allegations made by Shami’s wife Hasin Jahan that the pacer took money from a Pakistani girl named ‘Alishba’ after the insistence of an England-based businessman Mohammed Bhai.
DNA has reliably learnt that COA has swung into action on Wednesday morning and specifically asked former Delhi Police chief to pay attention to the alleged “audio recording” of the telephone conversation between Shami and his wife.
In the wake of the allegations made by the cricketer’s wife, the BCCI has kept Shami’s contract on hold last week. Since contract issue has to be resolved, COA has requested ACSU to submit report within the next seven days.
COA has specifically asked Kumar to investigate Shami on three account..
1. The identity and antecedents of ‘Mohammad Bhai’ and ‘Alishba'.
2. Whether any money was in fact sent by the said Mohammad Bhai through the said Alishba to Md. Shami
3. If yes, the purpose for which the said money was received by Md. Shami.
“The COA is concerned only with such portion of the said audio recording in which the person who it is claimed is Md. Shami is heard saying another person by the name of ‘Mohammad Bhai’ had sent money to Md. Shami through a Pakistani lady by the name of ‘Alishba,” stated COA’s letter, a copy of which is in possession of DNA.
It is important to mention here that Kolkata Police on Tuesday sent letter to BCCI to disclose the travel details of Shami after the last T20 match in South Africa. Shami’s last match on the tour to South Africa was the third Test in Johannesburg, in which the pacer played a starring role to help India register a victory.
COA has further advised ACSU to keep investigation limited to only the above mentioned three issues and “not deal with any of the other allegations against Shami unless it find that the same fall within the purview of the BCCI Anti-Corruption Code”.
