The Supreme Court, on Monday, slammed Indian Premier League's chief operating officer Sundar Raman for 'watching the fun.' Raman was one of the four "officials" charged for misdemeanor in the spot-fixing and betting scandal

"It seems because of your job profile you were only interested in serving VVIPS. You didn't deem it fit to register a complaint because you were taking care of celebrities. You were only watching the fun," the top court said. The arguments on the Mudgal report are expected to conclude on Tuesday.

According to the Mudgal report submitted to the Supreme Court, Raman had contacted a bookie eight times in one season. He received information about Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan and Raj Kundra taking part in betting but did not act. Raman, who is believed to be BCCI president-in-exile N. Srinivasan's 'right-hand man' went on to say that he was not aware of his 'contact' being a bookie and pointed out that the Mudgal report does not specify the same. Following the apex court's charges of misdemeanor against Raman, the BCCI rallied around him, offering him full support.
