This is why match fixing has always been considered as the biggest crime no matter what the circumstances are, irrespective of who does it, he or she is always punished. Fixing plays with the emotions of cricket fans and makes a mockery of this wondering sport.

Having served the Indian Police Service for close to four decades, Singh is a 1982 Rajasthan IPS officer retired as DGP in 2017. He made sure that no corrupt activities commence under his watch. He is an expert at handling anti-corruption operations, investigative work and field policing. He had headed the anti-corruption bureau for Rajasthan in the past.
