'Kapil: An I-T ProbeIs On'

Outlook News Desk

Updated on:

Just back from an Interpol meeting in Athens, cbi director R.K. Raghavan seemed happy that there his agency's report on match-fixing has been generally accepted. In his first interview after the submission of the cbi report to Outlook, Raghavan hopes the findings have a salutary effect on the game. Excerpts:
There has been lot of talk of Kapil Dev's name being dropped from the report. Was there any political interference or any influential lobby which pressurised the cbi to omit his name?
The bcci chief, A.C. Muthiah, has been quick to react and says he will contest the findings on the functioning of the bcci. What is your reaction to that?
Critics say that the cbi report has no concrete proof of players' involvement in match-fixing and that it is largely based on testimonies.
Was there pressure on you at all from any quarter?
Was this a difficult probe considering how long ago the events had happened?
Will you be disappointed if action is not taken against the tainted cricketers or if the report is rubbished by the bcci?
