Anurag Thakur apologises before SC in contempt case

Former BCCI president Anurag Thakur tendered an unconditional apology before Supreme Court in connection with his initiation of contempt proceedings case on Monday. The matter will be next heard on April 17.

Thakur has also been granted relief as the apex court exempted his personal appearance in court till the next date of hearing in the case.

The SC, on January 2, had come down heavily on the defiant BCCI brass as Thakur and Ajay Shirke removed from the posts of president and secretary respectively for “obstructing” and “impeding” its directions to overhaul governance in the cricket body.
