The Justice Mudgal Committee on Monday indicted Gurunath Meiyappan, son-in-law of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief N. Srinivasan, of betting and spot-fixing during the sixth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) last year.

The committee, which submitted its 170 page report to the Supreme Court today, has alleged that Meiyappan was involved in spot-fixing and betting on matches.

The report described Meiyappan as the face of the Chennai Super Kings and rubbished the claims of the BCCI chief that Meiyappan was 'mere cricket enthusiast'.

The report has asked the court to consider the conflict of interest in Srinivasan holding the post of BCCI chief and also being the owner of the Chennai Super Kings.

The court will now study the report and will be taking it on March 7.

The committee has also stated that Rajasthan Royals owner Raj Kundra was also involved in betting and spot-fixing. The report says that the allegations against Kundra need to be further investigated.

The committee was formed by the Supreme Court following the betting scandal which had erupted last year. It is headed by Justice Mukul Mudgal, and, was the probing charges of betting and spot-fixing during the IPL 2013 edition.
