Controversy: In November 2003, Abhijit Kale who represented India in a single ODI match was accused by the then BCCI's joint secretary Prof Ratnakar Shetty of attempting to bribe 2 members of the selection committee - Kiran More and Pranab Roy. Abhijit Kale was suspended immediately from playing international or domestic cricket and was subject to an inquiry commission (November 2003) and disciplinary committee hearing in May 2004. The commission headed by D.V. Subba Rao heard the testimony of Kale and Sanjay Jagdale who testified for the selection committee and submitted its report in December 2003.

Famous quotes containing the words bribery and/or charges:
“I hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, to learn the economy of the mind by phrenology, or skill without study, or mastery without apprenticeship, or the sale of goods through pretending that they sell, or power through making believe you are powerful, or through a packed jury or caucus, bribery and “repeating” votes, or wealth by fraud.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I have never injured anybody with a mordant poem; my
verse contains charges against nobody. Ingenuous, I have
shunned wit steeped in venom—not a letter of mine is dipped
in poisonous jest.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
