Claiming innocence, tainted Rajasthan Royals spinner Ajit Chandila has said that the Delhi Police&#39;s proposed move to slap the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) charges against him is completely unfair as he is a &quot;cricketer and not a terrorist&quot;. Chandila, who was granted an interim bail for two days (from August 3 to 5) for the last rites of his elder brother, was optimistic that he will come out clean of the spot-fixing charges levelled against him. &quot;I dreamt of becoming a good cricketer, and to an extent I achieved that. But a tragedy struck and my dreams were shattered. People have seen my performance in last two seasons of the IPL. I am clean and I trust the judiciary,&quot; Chandila told a news channel after being released on interim bail. <img alt="Ajit Chandila" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/may/13chandila2.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 208px;" /> Ajit Chandila says he&#39;s clean. File Pic Chandila said his family and he were in a state of shock after learning that the MCOCA might be levelled against him. &quot;My family and I are in a state of shock that such charges are being levelled against me. I am a cricketer not a terrorist,&quot; he said.u00a0 &quot;My family has suffered a lot, and my brother was hospitalised the day I was arrested. But I have the support of my family. And soon, people will know the truth. I am innocent. I will make a comeback soon. &quot;I have no clue about the spot-fixing controversy. I have never been approached by anybody. I am absolutely unaware of this,&quot; Chandila added. Chandila said he has never been approached by any bookie. &quot;I have no clue about the spot fixing controversy. I have never been approached by anybody. I am absolutely unaware of this,&quot; he said. When asked if he was being framed, Chandila refused to comment and said: &quot;I don&#39;t want to say anything. I am shocked. It is a tragedy for me and my family. I don&#39;t even know what will happen to me. I also don&#39;t know what is MCOCA. When my lawyer told me the details of the law, I was shocked and devastated.&quot; Asked about his penchant for luxury jeans and watches, Chandila said every sportsperson has a penchant for designer clothes. &quot;Each cricketer participating in Ranji or IPL gets paid handsomely. Everyone likes wearing good clothes and watches. It is not that this is possible with wrong means. In fact, we&#39;re paid enough that we don&#39;t have to resort to any wrong means. As far as my lifestyle is concerned, everybody wants to wear good clothes, shades, etc. So, if I had been spending on myself, it is my personal choice and nobody should be concerned about that.&quot; Chandila said nobody should interfere in his personal life. &quot;My dream was to become a cricketer and I&#39;ve worked very hard to achieve that. My performances in the past two seasons of IPL are a testament to that. God willing, I&#39;ll soon make a comeback,&quot; he said. Chandila, along with his Rajasthan Royals team mates S. Sreesanth and Ankeet Chavan, was arrested by Delhi Police May 16 after a midnight raid in Mumbai. Sreesanth and Chavan have secured bail in June but Chandila hasn&#39;t been as lucky.
