* Bailed out Prabhakar is not a free man yet

Manoj Prabhakar might have been granted bail by the Uttaranchal High Court but he is not a free man yet. The colourful former Indian Test all-rounder will now be taken to Indore on Wednesday where a local court had recently issued arrest warrants against him for duping small investors in the same chit fund case that originally led to his arrest. The Indore police had handed the arrest warrants to the Uttaranchal police recently.

Prabhakar had earlier secured a bail from the Uttaranchal High Court after his counsel produced four sureties before the Chief Judicial Magistrate. He is currently recovering in a private nursing home in Haldwani after suffering from a brain stroke.

* Nagaraj denies duping the KSCA

Former BCCI Secretary C Nagaraj on Thursday denied that he had ever duped the Karnataka State Cricket Association. "The resolution passed by a Special General Body Meeting (SGM) of KSCA, debarring me from contesting elections, has been done with malafide intentions," he said in a statement in Bangalore. He also claimed that senior members of the KSCA were absent at the SGM and that over 100 proxy votes were cast in support of the resolution.

"As I know I am innocent of the charges leveled against me, and time will show this, I would like the cricket loving public of the state to know that the present KSCA office bearers feel that I am a thorn in their flesh", he said. "I do not accept the strictures passed against me, as these have been done to prevent me from contesting elections."

The SGM had, during the weekend, adopted a resolution barring Nagaraj for life from holding any post in the association.
