Justice Lodha Committee verdict on IPL should be respected: Sports Minister

By PTI

New Delhi, July 15: Sports Minister Sarbananda Sonowal today said that Lodha Committee's order on the punishment to the IPL Franchisees should be followed.

A Supreme Court appointed Committee handed out life suspensions to Chennai Super Kings and Rajatshna Royals' owners after they were found guilty of placing bets during the 2013 edition of the league.

"Sports should always be free of controversy. There should always be more transparency and accountability has to be there," he said referring to BCCI.
