"We are equally concerned as you are. It is for the BCCI to investigate. If there is any violation of law, law will take its own course," Bansal said.

Kumar said what was happening in IPL was a big scam but lamented that only five cricketers have been suspended by the cricket administration.

Azad wanted that Delhi Police should probe the matter and a special audit should be conducted.

Alleging that no action has been taken, Azad said, "Why should I have faith in the government when it gives me no protection?.... I feel ashamed."

Kumar demanded a high-level probe into match fixing charges and the way in which blackmoney had come into play in it.
