The
BCCI had been having a cool time up till now. While cricketers and
some ex- cricketers sweated it out, having to face all the
maligning allegations of being match fixers, and then supposed
accumulators of astronomical accounts of illegal wealth, a most
BCCI officials just sat back and smiled. Well, tables have turned,
or lets say the Income tax guys have just gotten smarter.
Recently
BCCI treasurer Kishore Rungta’s fixed deposit documents worth Rs.
98 crore was seized from, well… his ‘office’ (ahem!).
We’ve got to give him the credit of being at least original !
BCCI president A.C Muthiah even went on to defend Rungta, saying
that, “It is the board’s money kept in the board
treasurer’s office. It’s transparent.” Yeah, the whole story
is pretty transparent too !
Why,
pray bestow the treasurer with such treasures ? The BCCI president
has an answer to that one too- you see, the BCCI office in Mumbai
is mighty small. So, it had been the system that the Board’s
treasurer shall be granted riches- oops! I mean the treasurer gets
to keep the board’s financial documents at his residence. Who
wants to be Tendulkar any more – the latest hot job is going to
be a cherished dream of wanting to become the BCCI treasurer !
However,
we do not intend to join the accusation brigade. Probably just
building on to a rather amusing probability. Maybe, maybe not,
could be, could not be.
