Almost 11 months after Indore-based Sanjeev Gupta filed a conflict of interest complaint against BCCI employee Mayank Parikh, the ombudsman Justice DK Jain on Tuesday upheld the charges.
Former India women's captain Diana Edulji, who was the only member in the Committee of Administrators (CoA) to be convinced that Parikh was conflicted, was delighted with the ombudsman's judgment. "I am happy my stand is vindicated once again. I had nothing personal against anyone, but I objected to whatever was wrong or not as per the BCCI rulebook," Edulji told mid-day.

CoA was appointed by the Supreme Court to manage the BCCI affairs till the time consensus could be formed to accept the Justice Lodha Committee recommendations by the BCCI members.
Parikh, who was the logistics manager when Team India won the ICC World Cup in 2011, has been asked to relinquish his ownerships from six cricket clubs that are part of the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) or resign from the BCCI.
