New Delhi: Taking strong exception to BCCI "misleading" everyone on key issues such as disbursement of large amount of funds to state associations, the Supreme Court-appointed Justice RM Lodha Panel yesterday said it was unfortunate that their directions have been misinterpreted.
On behalf of the panel, secretary Gopal Shankarnarayan emailed board president Anurag Thakur, secretary Ajay Shirke, treasurer Aniruddh Chaudhry and CEO Rahul Johri, highlighting a number of statements that has been attributed to the key functionaries of India's richest sporting body.
The email states: "It is unfortunate that the directions/contents of the e-mail have been misinterpreted, as is evident from the press reports to state that the present India-New Zealand series is at stake."
The e-mail clearly mentioned once again that banks have not been instructed to freeze BCCI accounts.
"The Supreme Court committee has not frozen the bank accounts of BCCI. Nor has it objected to the banking operations/payments relating to routine administration and conduct of cricket matches/tournaments/activities.
"This has been clarified in express terms to the banks concerned, so that cricket and the public are not made to pay for the actions of the BCCI governors."
