Rajeev Shukla, IPL chairman, speaks to the press after meeting BCCI vice president Arun Jaitley. Shukla said the BCCI president N Srinivasan should step aside and stay away till the spot-fixing probe against his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan is over.

Shukla says that a probe panel has been formed and the panel's findings will be implemented and the guilty punished however big the person is. "Findings of the commission will not be ratified by the BCCI, it will be implemented straightaway," said Shukla. This is the first time Rajeev Shukla has said Srinivasan should step aside.

Shukla tells the media that two high court judges and one BCCI official would be appointed in the three-member committee which will probe the IPL spot-fixing scandal. He is expected to make further announcements at 12.30 pm.
