Banned for life from cricket activities, former Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj Kundra today said he has filed a petition at the Supreme Court after Delhi Police gave him a clean chit in the Indian Premier League betting scandal.

Kundra had filed an application under Right To Information at the Delhi Police who in their reply said there's "no evidence" of betting charges against him.

"We have filed an application under RTI to Delhi police seeking whether there's any evidence against me on the alleged betting," Kundra told reporters on the sidelines of an Indian Chambers of Commerce programme.

"The answer we got against the RTI is that they have no evidence against me, and I have nothing to do with betting. The RTI is available to all of you. Even you can file an RTI and see it."
"In our review (petition) we have asked please see what the Delhi Police has said and the basis on which I've been banned for life. Please study the new evidence, study them and tell us if I committed any crime. Then I will accept it. If Delhi Police is clearly saying I've done 'nothing wrong, why penalise me', why I'm being victimised."
