Neeraj Kumar told media, “We don`t have evidence against Raj Kundra, so can`t arrest him”.
On the other hand, Kundra released a statement saying he was innocent and that is anything is proved against him, he is willing to surrender his share in the team. Rajasthan Royals was bought for Rs. 740 crore, in which Kundra and his wife Shilpa Shetty have 11.7% stakes.
The team announced on Friday that if Kundra is found guilty, he will not only be suspended but also will lose the share in the team. Rajasthan Royals President Ranjit Barthakur and CEO Raghu Iyer said in a statement that action will be taken against Kundra if he is found guilty though they agree that Kundra is a law abiding citizen.
Delhi police said on Friday that they are investigating Kundra since his name came up during the interrogation of Umesh Goenka, therefore, the latter will be again called for questioning.
Before this, a meeting of BCCI has been convened on Monday to take decisions on the Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab issues. Meanwhile, Raj Kundra has hired famous lawyer Majid Memon for his defence.
Investigators also claimed Kundra (36) told them that he lost around Rs1 crore in the past three years in betting on IPL matches.
Notably, common friend friend of Shilpa and Raj Kundra Umesh Goenka spilled it all when he revealed to Delhi police that Rajasthan Royals co-owner Shilpa Shetty had also placed her bets on one of the cricket matches.
