Star India pacer Mohammed Siraj, who is currently playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 for the Faf du Plessis-led Royal Challengers Bangalore, has reported a "corrupt approach" to BCCI's Anti Corruption Unit (ACU).
Sources told NDTV that an unknown man, who is said to be a driver, sought inside information from Siraj on RCB. The BCCI has a strict code of conduct when it comes to corrupt approach.
If a player or an official fail to report a corrupt approach, he can be sanctioned as well. "It is acknowledged that the fight against corruption requires prompt reporting of all such approaches and any unnecessary delay in doing so may undermine the effectiveness with which the ACU BCCI and other relevant anti-corruption bodies can protect the integrity of the sport.
It is acknowledged that the assessment of whether there had been an 'unnecessary delay' in each case will depend on its own circumstances, but it is always unacceptable (and will therefore constitute 'unnecessary delay') for a Participant to wait until after the match in respect of which he/she was invited to engage in Corrupt Conduct before reporting that approach to the ACU BCCI," the BCCI's anti-corruption code says.
