The Rajasthan Royal bowlers were banned for life due to agreeing to giving away more than a specified number of runs per over in return for money from certain bookies.

The police also took Ajit Chandilia into custody but Harmeet Singh was let off due to lack of evidence. Following this the police also carried out a round of questioning for IPL officials and team owners, after which CSK team principal Gurunath Meiyappan and Rajasthan Royals co founder Raj Kundra were also found guilty of betting on games in which their respective teams were involved, springing up a clear case of conflict of interest.

Both Kundra and Meiyappan were later let off!

This incident sparked serious controversy as the average Indian fan always had this notion that IPL games were fixed and this incident further fuelled his/her conviction.
