Speaking on the
IPL spot-fixing and betting scandal, Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shah
Rukh Khan has said that the team owners should stay away from such
practices.
“I think as a team owner
one should not indulge in all these practices even if you are a betting
person
by nature. If you’re an owner, you’re aware of all the rules and
the loopholes and it’s undignified to misuse them,” Shah Rukh said in an
interview to a leading Indian daily.
On the issue of Rajasthan
Royals co-owner Raj Kundra’s alleged involvement in the betting scandal,
Shah Rukh said that one should not jump to conclusions so soon adding
that the claims of a bookie should be verified.
“I’m sure he (Raj Kundra)
will fight this battle legally and something will come out of it. These
are claims of bookies which need to be verified. I don’t think bookies
should be believed the moment they take a name,” he said.
The Bollywood superstar said that betting is a “disgusting habit” and those involved in it should be punished.
