On May 16, 2013, Delhi Police arrested three Rajasthan Royals players - Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan - soon after their match in Mumbai over suspicions of spot-fixing. Eleven bookies were also arrested, and days later, Gurunath Meiyappan of Chennai Super Kings. It constituted Indian cricket's greatest corruption crisis and sparked off a series of events, the latest of which is the Lodha Committee's report. The first responses were by the BCCI, who set up two inquiries, one into the involvement of the players and another into the broader issues, including the possible involvement of the owners.
