The BCCI said that they are eyeing an Indian man Ravinder Dandiwal who has been identified by the Australian police as the alleged kingpin of a major international tennis match-fixing syndicate.
BCCI's Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) chief Ajit Singh confirmed on Monday that Dandiwal, who hails from Mohali, Chandigarh, is a person of interest.
"He is one of the persons of interest. He has come on unfavorable notice to the Anti-Corruption Unit in some cases," Singh told IANS.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported last week that Victoria Police had named Dandiwal as a "central figure" in the fixing scandal.
However, Singh said that the BCCI cannot directly take any action against him as he is not a "partner". "At ACU, we can only take action against participants."
Dhaliwal is known in the Chandigarh Cricket Circuit, and a private league recognized by the BCCI has not been organized.
Singh revealed that two-three years ago Dandiwal wanted to organize a league in India, which the BCCI ACU could disrupt.

"But, even though he is outside the purview of the BCCI ACU, he is corrupt. Therefore, we have to keep an eye on whether he is trying to contact any of our players, which thankfully did not happen... "
"Nothing can be done in India because nothing has been recorded here. It is somewhere in Australia or Egypt, so it does not fall under any jurisdiction of the Indian Police," he said.
SMH has also reported that Rajesh Kumar and Harsimrat Singh, residents of Melbourne of Indian origin, appeared in Melbourne Magistrate Court last week in an attempt to win up to AUS $ 320,000 using illegal methods.
The report said that Victoria Police accused him of "corrupting" at least two tennis tournaments in Brazil and Egypt in 2018.
Commenting on the pair, Singh said: "Rajesh Kumar and Harsimrat Singh are in Australia. The Australian police are taking action against them. Therefore, nothing more can be done. Another agency under similar charges Cannot take action if this person (Dariwal). It involves, the Australian Police has jurisdiction to take action against him. "
Elaborating on the role of the BCCI ACU, Singh said: "We are not the police, we are an anti-corruption agency, which ensures the BCCI's anti-corruption code by the players participating in the BCCI tournament. Now, players are participating. ". Ground staff, officers, and team managers support the employees. So, if they have done something wrong, we can take action against them.
He said, "But if there is someone who is not a participant, we can minimize it by keeping an eye on him and his activities. We can only ensure that our participants remain untouched by him."
