BCCI Initiates Action After ACU Finds Romi Bhinder Guilty And Rejects Explanation
BCCI acts after Romi Bhinder found guilty of breach
The Board of Control for Cricket in India has taken disciplinary action following a finding of breach of anti-corruption protocol involving Romi Bhinder, a team manager associated with the Rajasthan Royals franchise in the Indian Premier League.
According to reports, the BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Unit reviewed the incident and found Bhinder guilty of violating established communication and reporting procedures under the IPL’s anti-corruption code. The case reportedly relates to a failure to comply with mandatory protocols designed to ensure transparency and prevent improper approaches during tournament operations.
The ACU is understood to have expressed dissatisfaction with Bhinder’s explanation during the inquiry process, particularly regarding the circumstances of the alleged protocol breach. Officials concluded that the justification provided did not sufficiently address deviations from required reporting standards, leading to disciplinary measures being recommended.

The Rajasthan Royals franchise has not issued a detailed public statement on the matter at the time of reporting. However, team officials are believed to be cooperating with the governing body as part of the ongoing compliance framework. The IPL’s anti-corruption mechanisms require all players, support staff, and team officials to strictly adhere to reporting obligations when dealing with any suspicious contact or integrity-related concerns.
The BCCI has significantly strengthened its anti-corruption oversight in recent years, with the ACU actively monitoring team environments, player interactions, and external contacts throughout the tournament. Breaches of protocol, even without proven intent of wrongdoing, are treated seriously under the regulatory framework due to the high-risk nature of franchise-based competitions.
Further disciplinary details, including the extent of sanctions, have not been officially disclosed. The matter is expected to remain under review as part of standard procedural compliance, with potential for additional action depending on internal appeals or further findings.
