I’ve known Abhijeet Kale for quite sometime and I’m not too sure if somebody like him could do such a thing. I’m known him as a person for a long time, so I’ll have to wait and see. I still don’t believe it. – I am being hounded by the media, but all I can say is that I have no official information and I am not in a position to comment on this issue. – Without ascertaining facts, we just cannot voice our opinions. – It’s an absolute shock to me. I’ve never heard any such incident before. It’s clearly liable for criminal proceedings. – I am shocked, absolutely stunned! I don’t think it’s possible. – I am not aware of this and I am not in a position to comment. But it is good to hear that the concerned selectors have informed the board president. – After the match-fixing, this is the second major setback to the game. But as the game recovered from the match-fixing scandal this time too it will come out of it. –
