CVC Capitals betting involvement case:
CVC Capitals Partners, the company which won the operating rights of the Ahmedabad based new IPL team for a massive INR 5625 Croes, hasn’t yet received the letter of intent from the BCCI. The Irelia Company Pte Ltd (CVC Capitals Partners) have been found to be involved with the major betting firms in the UK.
The BCCI has formed a panel of judges to check the business roots of the CVC Capitals as betting is banned in India.
The case is likely to come at the verdict by the end of this month. An esteemed panel of judges has been appointed by the BCCI to investigate the matter. The high profile panel consists of some bigwigs of Supreme Court and High Court judges.
