Date:

New Delhi: In a shocking move, Supreme Court on Monday removed BJP lawmaker Anurag Thakur as the president of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) following perjury charges against him.

On December 16, judges had said Anurag Thakur, who is also a BJP lawmaker, seems to have ‘committed perjury’ after the court was informed that he had made a false statement on asking the International Cricket Council or ICC to clarify whether a recommendation made by the Lodha committee amounted to interference in the board’s running.
