BCCI today imposed a life ban on Haryana off-spinner Ajit Chandila for his involvement in the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal, while Mumbai batsman Hiken Shah was handed a five-year suspension for making a corrupt approach to a fellow player. The decision to this effect was taken at the BCCI disciplinary committee meeting Mumbai. However, the committee, headed by BCCI President Shashank Manohar and comprising Jyotiraditya Scindia and Niranjan Shah, deferred a decision on Chandila's co-accused Pakistani umpire Asad Rauf till February 12, giving him a final deadline of February 9 to file his reply.The 32-year-old Chandila, an off-spinner who was found guilty of spot-fixing during his stint with Rajasthan Royals, was handed a tougher punishment for violating the codes pertaining to accepting bribes, fixing, underperfoming, trying to induce a fellow player and betting. Both the players were held guilty of misconduct and corruption under various sections of the BCCI Anti Corruption Code.
