Aditya Verma, the petitioner in the Indian Premier League (IPL) spot fixing case, has accused Bihar Cricket Association (BCA) secretary Ravi Shankar Prasad Singh of playing with his son Lakhan Raja's career. The Bihar CA handed a two-year suspension to Lakhan for allegedly participating in an unsanctioned tournament as well as a corporate tournament without prior approval.

Verma is also the secretary of the unrecognised Cricket Association of Bihar (CAB), while BCCI has recognised the Bihar CA as the parent body of state cricket. "My son played for India Cements in the Hyderabad Cricket League. If a player is playing for his employer's team, then there is no need to take permission from the state association. Without giving a chance to explain his side of the story, the BCA suddenly suspended him, which is totally wrong. The secretary Ravi Shankar Prasad is playing with my son's career," Verma told mid-day from Patna yesterday.
