Accusing the Income Tax Department of being "very lenient" to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), a Parliamentary panel on Tuesday said it allowed the cricketing body to "enrich its coffers at the expense of the exchequer". Headed by former Finance Minister and senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha, the Standing Committee on Finance has asked the IT department, Reserve Bank of India and Corporate Affairs Ministry to expedite their investigations into the affairs of the BCCI and the Indian Premier League (IPL). The report of the Committee, which was tabled in Parliament, also regretted that the much-loved cricket -- a gentleman's game -- is getting "sullied and embroiled in transgressions of law off the field".
