Azhar's allegations incorrect: CBI

The CBI on Monday termed as "factually inorrect" allegations levelled by former Indian captain Mohammed Azharuddin that some Mumbai players were not "investigated properly" by agencies probing match-fixing.

"It is all wrong. It is not something new," CBI Director RK Raghavan told reporters when asked to comment on the charges levelled by the banned cricketer.

Raghavan said all these allegations had surfaced during the six-month investigations but "we have come to a conclusion and on that basis, we have submitted our report to the government."

Azharuddin had recently said in an interview to a weekly news magazine that "nobody talks of the Rs 70 lakh cash found in Sunil Gavaskar's Gymkhana locker. What about Ravi Shastri's Ali Bagh farm house and other costly properties? How did Vinod Kambli lose his money from a locker?"

Asked about the investigations into the "unholy" nexus between cricketers, administrators and the underworld, the CBI director said "the probe has begun and we have collected some material and we are in the process of getting more. It will take some time."

Raghavan said the CBI was also working in tandem with Income Tax authorities to unravel this nexus.
