The telegraph on October 8 th report says Assistant secretary Snehasish Ganguly%u2019s role will also come under the scanner. There has been growing pressure from a section of the members for his resignation. Snehasish has conceded to having introduced Pradip Todi, younger brother of Ashok, to the police chief. He is also a director in their company. It may be recalled that police had raided Todi%u2019s Burrabazar office in 2002 and arrested four persons in connection with a betting racket. Three computers and eight mobile phones were seized. Todi was interrogated by officers of the anti-rowdy section but was let-off. Till late on Sunday, Snehasish neither took calls nor responded to text messages from The Telegraph seeking details of when he got involved with Todi. If Snehasish%u2019s Todi links do go back to 2002, then the wisdom of his continuing to have business ties with Todi is bound to raise eyebrows as younger brother Sourav was then the Team India captain.
source NDTV report :Two weeks after his unnatural death in Kolkata, the Rizwanur Rehman case is getting murkier. Questions are being asked about Rizwanur's father-in-law industrialist Ashok Todi's alleged proximity to top cops in Kolkata and his connections with the Cricket Association of Bengal of which Police Commissioner Prasun Mukherjee is president.
Todi was interrogated by the Kolkata Police in 2004 in connection with a cricket-betting racket.Four people were arrested but Todi went scot-free, thanks to a relationship he had nurtured over the years with Lalbazar, the Kolkata Police headquarters.
As recently as June 26, Todi's hosiery firm gave 800 T-Shirts for an anti-drug rally organized by the detective department.Gyanwant Singh, now deputy commissioner headquarters, headed that department then. Singh is one of four officers named by Rizwan for harassing him for marrying Priyanka.Cricket was another short cut to the powers that be. Kshiti Goswami, PWD minister, says as much.
''It is now being heard that Ashok Todi played a vital role in the CAB elections. Whether cricket had any role in Rizwanur's murder, that is what everyone is talking about,'' said Kshiti Goswami, PWD Minister, WB.
In the CAB elections last year, pitted against Jagmohan Dalmiya was Police Commissioner Prasun Mukherjee.
Though the police commissioner lost, Todi's money was apparently used in the election campaign.
''It's a fact that monetary power is there in CAB elections. Th

continued.....''It's a fact that monetary power is there in CAB elections. This money can never be seen. It is always done behind the scene. If there is big money, it is always done behind the carpet,'' said Prashanto Gayen, Ex-Secy, CAB.
Todi may not have met Prasun Mukherjee till this September when Snehashish Ganguly introduced the two.
But thanks to Todi's connection with Ganguly -- who is an assistant secretary in the CAB and a director of Todi's hosiery company, his past favours to the police and the CAB, it is perhaps no wonder the police commissioner went to great lengths to get his daughter back for him.

now see these series by series,can you get any thing from this......
Captain Ganguly India South Africa
1st IND v SAF 09/03/2000 Nehru Stad. (Kochi),India won by 3 wickets
Now you can see Donald who was there in tests opted out,Clusner did not bowl but he was there in the squad.
Pollock,Kallis,N Boje did not finish their quota. Cronje,Hayward, Williams,Crookes finishing rest of the overs.
What was cooking up. Did South Africa wanted themselves to loose?
2nd IND v SAF 12/03/2000 Keenan Stadium India won by 6 wickets What they are up against? same bowling despite earlier defeat. Same bowling pattern.
4th IND v SAF 17/03/2000 IPCL Sports Complex India won by 4 wickets.
What is going on same bowling pattern. inspite of being two one down in five match series. This should be do or die match for SA. Same bowling pattern.
Real great captaincy by Ganguly and match management by Dalmia combine per your estyle. He not only motivated Indian players but South African Players for India win . ROFL....
Dinesh Karthik hasn't done any justice to the selectors' faith in him and to the opportunities he got so far and deserves to be sidelined for a while till he understands the value of an Indian cap. Till then, let him only be considered as a test opening batsman and keeper
In India, honest hardworking people don't have a place in society. Only suckups and bootlickers get to the top, no matter whether sports/politics/business. Dhoni belonged to the first category but learnt quickly once u lose form, u need to shift to the second category%u2026like his predecessor Ganguly One a vadodara pitch, where India was scuttled out by sheer bounce and pace, the duffer starts the innings with Harbhajan. Result: 9 wicket loss Sheer luck that murali came in for Powar, and the dakkan says he fought for him to be in the team and unabashedly admits it was a genius stroke. Moved the batting order as he wants like in 20/20 but still nothing worked out. This is CRICKET not RUSSIAN ROULETTE. Heads have to fall when we lose so badly and the scapegoat was DRAVID. The Chandigarh match was won with a margin of 8 runs. SHEER LUCK In the Mumbai match, the 8th wicket pair put 50 runs to win. Nobody including Zaheer/Karthik%u2019s parents would have given them a chance. SUPER FLUKE 20/20 World Cup: Nobody in INDIA including their families and the bookies gave them a chance. Somehow the coin always flips to our favour, for us to bat first and we managed to win it. As all of the world knows but don%u2019t acknowledge publicly MISBAH gave the cup to us. 1 20/20 win and 2 ODI wins in 4 years against Aussies!!! Who performed consistently for INDIA in the ODI series? Matter of fact..NO ONE. From the concluded series we can see there is zameen(EARTH) and aasman(SKY) difference bet

Learn to not get emotional, guys but be practical. Facts and History never lie. People who pass personal comments, only show their immaturity and upbringing.

hey ravin. you are right about not making personal comments. I have got nothing against dhoni as he has never made any personal comments about me. So I wont call him a fluke.

between both the teams. A rag-tag bunch of pig-headed and selfish individuals who have all the useless World Records in ODI/Test/20-20 can never become a winning team. Foolish bravado, stupid cricketing decisions and false aggression made the team look like Complete Idiots. Dhoni was a FLUKE and will be a FLUKE till he achieves consistency in his batting and the team wins. So please cut the CRAP and PLAY.

Ganguly is half of Dravid international cricketers do not take him at par with Dravid. except bongs and bongs infested media.
He is the one who should dropped for his slow innings and spoiling the match. nor Dravid.

Wish somebody could infuse some sense in you ..Scoring 86 and adding to the team team total and going back with a score of less than 10 when the situation demands it speak for itself as who should have been dropped.Dravid is excepionally talented but now he is out of form ..India lost the match cos the middle order did not score ..period..

if dravid had godfather media or cric experts would not hv gone criticising him when ganguy was captain he had dalmiay and survived almost 2 yrs non performing batsman nobody speak against him infact dravid and chappell blemed for his outset Ponting surprised by Dravid's promotion to no. 4 http://cricket.indiatimes.com/News/News/Ponting_surprised_by_Dravids_promotion_to_no_4_/articleshow/2458224.cms but kumble and laxman were thrown out of odi team even after good perfor mance but were not good in books of ganguly aussis win b'cuz they play as one unit and desire to win match and series Actually dravid have no media suppourt and political support like ganguly sachin, Dravid was among the three top batsmen in last series. The highest run getter in last three series were Tendulkar, Yuvraj and Dravid in that order. In the current series, no one except Tendulkar was consistent. It is good that you mentioned Australia. Gilchrist did not have a great run this swries but he was neither dropped nor his batting slot was changed. Rahul Dravid being asked to bat from number 3 to number 7 in ODI matches.
