Raj Kundra will be suspended if found guilty: Rajasthan Royals

New Delhi: Rajasthan Royals on Friday distanced itself from Raj Kundra, saying he had no involvement in running of the franchise and would be suspended if found guilty.

“As a franchise, we have always been clear that the same rules apply to players, management or owners. As such, our actions will be consistent as in the case of the spot fixing allegations with respect to our players,” Rajasthan Royals Chairman Ranjit Barthakur and CEO Raghu Iyer said in a statement.

“Mr. Raj Kundra is a minority (11.7 percent) shareholder, and he has no involvement in the running of the franchise. We believe that Mr. Raj Kundra is a law abiding citizen and would not act contrary to law.

The BCCI has called an Emergent Working Committee meeting on Monday to discuss the Kundra issue and take action if required.

Chennai Super Kings also finds itself in a similar problem with its Team Principal Gurunath Meiyappan, who is the son-in-law of BCCI President N Srinivasan, being suspended on charges of betting. The CSK has, however, denied that he is an owner of the team.
