Open for media presence, the meeting lasted for nearly two hours during which the sports journalist citing his decade long reporting experience levelled serious allegations against DDCA office-bearers.
Chairman of the enquiry committee Saurabh Bhardwaj along with other members questioned the scribe who made a lengthy deposition centering around alleged corruption related to selection of players, purchases and construction work undertaken at Feroz Shah Kotla stadium by DDCA.
Secretary of the Delhi Assembly Prasanna Suryadevara also questioned the journalist over his claims of regular talks with former DDCA president Arun Jaitley and charges levelled by him against the cricketing body.
A lawyer, who was called by the committee, recused himself from recording his statement citing a "conflict of interest" as he served as a retainer on DDCA's advocates panel.

Chartered accountant S M Verma, who was called as an expert to look into financial aspects of the charges, requested the committee for providing him papers and documents listed by him so that he could give his opinion on the matter.
The nine-member committee, including ruling AAP MLAs, was appointed by Delhi Assembly in June last year to look into cricket and hockey bodies in the city.
Bhardwaj said that next meeting of the committee will be held in the coming week.
"Today the senior sports journalist deposed before the committee in which he particularly mentioned the alleged corruption and irregularities in DDCA," he said.
The committee is expected to hold a few more meetings as people are coming forward with complaints and depose as witnesses, he said.
It will give its report after completing the enquiry which will be tabled before Delhi Assembly, he said.
