Indian
Cricket premier league is totally a private event controlled and
managed by the Private individuals and bodies. No public
money is involved or the government has any control over the functioning over
the IPL. The Delhi police had recently arrested few cricketers on the
ground that they are part of match fixing
racket. Interestingly before such arrest nothing heard about any
complaint made in the matter. Since the alleged crime is not against the public
at large a criminal complaint is the main starting point for taking any such
investigation in to match fixing in IPL. The Delhi police arrested
few guys all print and visual medias quickly started highlighting the
story relating to match fixing and the involvement of various other people . Before
doing this kind of wide coverage are they inquired as to
the maintainability of a case against the cricketers for mach
fixing when no affected party made a complaint ?
The important section
invoked by the police against the cricketers is section 420 cheating . The
sections says that ;
Cheating
and dishonestly inducing delivery of property.-- Whoever cheats and thereby
dishonestly induces the person deceived to deliver any property to any person,
or to make, alter or destroy the whole or any part of a valuable security, or
anything which is signed or sealed, and which is capable of being converted
into a valuable security, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description
for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine.
Of fraudulent deeds and dispositions of property;
So
in this mach fixing case who is being cheated ?
Answer will be the
people who invested money in betting. various states in India are specifically
banned betting and gambling . Then how can the legal violators came
before the police and register a complaint ?
So not single
aggrieved party is not going to make a complaint against the mach fixers. That
means finally the arrested cricketers will be freed by the police . This is not
the first mach fixing case in India . In the past also such scams
were Brock out and the police failed to do any thing against the mach
fixers. In the back ground of this event Union Law minster expressed
the possibility of bringing new law to deal with this problem,
whatever it may be but at the present moment Police did not have any power
or authority to arrest the cricketers. But they are doing it and
the medias are giving big coverage to this incident with every hour breaking
news.
We are fooled by
medias and police . realize and ignore the stories of IPL mach fixing. There аре big
events happening in this country including the police atrocities and resistance
from the public . This very same Delhi police failed to nab the culprits involved
in 1984 sick riots. The victims are still fighting for justice. If medias are
not correcting their ways public should respond.
