CBI sleuths visit BCCI office

Board of Control for Cricket in India officials in Bombay are tight-lipped about a visit by sleuths from the Central Bureau of Investigation to their office on Monday.

BCCI executive secretary Sharad Diwadkar called it a "courtesy call".

He said: "We invited them [the CBI officers, headed by Deputy Superintendent Nikhil Duggal] to have lunch at the CCI [Cricket Club of India].

"However, they will be visiting the BCCI office in a couple of days before their departure to Delhi," Diwadkar added.

Two CBI officers arrived in Bombay on Sunday to visit the BCCI office [located in the Northern Wing of the Brabourne stadium] to gather information on the whereabouts of a bookie, who was said to be involved in the match-fixing scandal, as also to prepare a deatailed study about telecast rights sold by the BCCI.

Asked what exactly transpired during the lunch meeting, Diwadkar said: "We did not discuss anything as such with the two gentlemen from the CBI, but they have assured me that they would be visiting our office soon."
