This is not the first time that Justice Mudgal, a sports enthusiast in every sense, has been involved in philanthropic activity. As a matter of fact, Mudgal at times did not attend the Delhi & Districts Cricket Association meetings in person and refused his per day fee, which was certainly not a small amount.
"Yes, I have told the DDCA that whatever has been my consultation fees for my tenure as an observer, that amount should be donated to the Delhi Police Martyrs' Fund (DPMF). I am not aware about the amount but DDCA has to decide on it. I know they are facing cash crunch with no BCCI funding and grants. But as and when they receive funds from BCCI, they should donate it," Mudgal told PTI during an interaction.
DDCA treasurer Rvainder Manchanda said that Mudgal has indeed told him to donate the money in police fund.
"I think the amount will be around Rs 15 lakh. But as of now, we have not received any funds from the BCCI. Once we receive funds, we will respect Justice Mudgal's wishes," Manchanda said.
