SHOCKING!! Was Indian skipper MS Dhoni really involved in IPL Match fixing?

As 8 franchisees are full busy in IPL 7 players auctioning, there's something else that is getting popped out. It is nothing but a shocking news for me which will really be a shameful one for the nation, if found guilty.Yes, its all about the IPL match fixing issue.

The latest sensational news is that a bookie named Kitty @ Utham Jain, who was interrogated has revealed some names who were involved in match fixing on 12th May 2013 where CSK played against RR. The CID report was submitted to Justice Mukul Mudgal on 17th Jan 2014. It says that Indian skipper MS Dhoni a.k.a Mr. KOOL, Suresh Raina, Gurunath Meiyappa and few others were involved in match fixing.

Few days ago, Supreme Court slammed saying that Cricketers have link with Dawood Ibrahim, Chotta Shakeel. The betting organised by these underground dons involve a turnover of  thousands of crores which is definitely being used against our nation itself. This is seriously a national threat.

Subodh Kant Sahai has said that Srinivasan is like Dawood, don't allow him to come back to BCCI.

If MS Dhoni did this, definitely he should be punished severely. Now all we have to do is just wait n watch whether Mr.KOOL will become Mr.HOT or not.
