"I would request the Rajasthan Royals to file an FIR against the players. Meanwhile, a disciplinary enquiry is on and action will be taken after collecting all the evidence," he added.
S Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan -- all playing for the Rajasthan Royals -- were arrested in Mumbai late Wednesday night by Delhi Police for alleged spot-fixing in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The BCCI Sunday had an emergency meeting in the wake of the spot-fixing scandal and set up a panel to probe it. It also decided that agents of all players will now need to be accredited with the board while a BCCI-ACSU official, along with a security officer, will be assigned to each IPL team for its regulation.
The Rajasthan Royals management, who were invited for the meeting, expressed their intention to file a police complaint against the tainted trio.
