Spot fixing controversy

On 16 May 2013, Chavan was arrested on charges of Spot fixing during IPL 6 by the Delhi police along with Ajit Chandila and Sreesanth, who played alongside him for Rajasthan Royals. According to Police, Ankeet Chavan was promised ₹6 million (US$84,000) to give away 14 runs in Rajasthan Royals' match against Mumbai Indians on 15 May 2013 and he did it giving away 15 runs in his second over.[3][4][5] After being arrested, he was immediately suspended by his employer, Air India.[6] He has been suspended from his cricketing career. Having been put in judicial custody in Tihar Central Jail, New Delhi, Chavan was granted bail from 31 May to 6 June to solemnise his marriage which had been fixed for 2 June 2013 and was granted bail on 10 June 2013 along with the other accused.[7][8] On 13 September 2013, Chavan and fellow player Sreesanth were banned from cricket for life by the BCCI disciplinary committee .[9] On 25 July 2015, the Delhi Court gave a clean chit and discharged him of all the charges in the IPL spot fixing case.

gollark: Like how potatOS implements string division.
gollark: Yes. But CC does it differently so it *is* sandboxed that way so we can do fun and ill-advised things.
gollark: CC is also extremely well sandboxed now. So much so that they can safely expose `debug`.
gollark: I'd actually expect OC to be a bit more vulnerable to that now since it uses native Lua instead of Cobalt's Java implementation.
gollark: Sandbox?
