Central Delhi Kings' Vansh Bedi Reports Corrupt Approach During Delhi Premier League

The Delhi Premier League (DPL) has been drawn into a corruption investigation following reports that Central Delhi Kings wicketkeeper-batter Vansh Bedi was approached by an outside player. The incident, which occurred during the most recent season of the T20 tournament, has prompted immediate action from local cricket authorities.

Bedi, who previously represented Purani Dilli 6 and spent time with the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League, reportedly flagged the approach to the Anti-Corruption Wing. The contact allegedly came from a cricketer based in a neighbouring state who was also participating in a T20 league within the region. The report was subsequently documented, triggering a formal response from the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA).

DDCA Seeks BCCI Guidance Amid Integrity Concerns

DDCA Secretary Ashok Sharma confirmed that the organisation has maintained strict oversight throughout the tournament, noting that every participating team was assigned a dedicated Security Liaison Officer (SLO). According to Sharma, the association’s security arrangements were designed to be watertight, and the swift reporting by Bedi aligns with the protocols established for the competition.

In light of the development, the DDCA has officially written to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to request guidance on how to proceed. The association is also seeking advice regarding broader concerns surrounding fixing allegations, including those linked to a recent sting operation conducted by Tehelka. The DDCA has indicated that it will await formal direction from the national governing body before taking further steps.

While the investigation remains in its early stages, the incident casts a shadow over the conclusion of the DPL season. The Central Delhi Kings finished as runners-up in the tournament, falling to the South Delhi Superstarz in the final match. As of now, the BCCI has not provided a public comment on the matter, and the DDCA continues to monitor the situation while awaiting input from the board.
