NEW DELHI — The Board of Control for Cricket in India has suspended Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj Kundra for betting on Indian Premier League games.
The announcement was made on Monday after an emergency meeting in which other aspects of an ongoing spot-fixing scandal were also discussed.
According to IPL rules, a team official can be suspended if he brings the tournament into disrepute.
Kundra is the second team official to be suspended after Chennai Super Kings team principal Gurunath Meiyappan, who is the son-in-law of BCCI President Narainswamy Srinivasan.
Srinivasan, who is also the managing director of the India Cements company that owns the Chennai franchise, was forced to step aside pending the probe into Meiyappan.
Former ICC and BCCI chief Jagmohan Dalmiya is the interim president of the BCCI.
