May 15, 2012 17:41

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has termed the alleged spot-fixing scandal in the Indian Premier League and other domestic competitions as "disturbing" and said it will take strict action against those found guilty of indulging in corrupt practices.

"The footage that was shown by the television channel was very disturbing," BCCI chief admisnistrative officer Ratnakar Shetty said.

"There has been an immediate action proposed by the BCCI president, and strong action will be taken against those found to be guilty," he added. The channel, India TV, claimed it had done a sting operation in which many IPL players confessed on hidden camera that they get much more than their prescribed auction under the table.
