The India pacer, who is playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing IPL, promptly reported the matter to BCCI's ACU unit. It is understood that the gambler had lost a lot of money during the India games and messaged <keyword id="261464" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="siraj" source="Orion">Siraj</keyword> out of sheer frustration. India had played white-ball home series against New Zealand and Sri Lanka in January-February before Australia arrived. India won the T20 series against Sri Lanka 2-1 before blanking them 3-0 in the ODI series. Against New Zealand, India won the ODI series 3-0 before triumphing in the T20 series with a 2-1 margin, with the Black Caps winning the lone game of the tour in Ranchi. "It wasn't a bookie who approached Siraj. He is a driver from Hyderabad who is addicted to betting on India matches. He had approached Siraj via WhatsApp after losing a lot of money on India games," a senior BCCI source privy to the developments told PTI on condition of anonymity. "Siraj reported the approach immediately. The law enforcement (Andhra Police) authorities had nabbed the person," the source added. The BCCI had beefed up its ACU network ever since the spot-fixing scandal, involving S Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan, Ajit Chandila and then Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team principal Gurunath Meiyappan, was unearthed in 2013. Now, each IPL team has a dedicated ACU official who stays in the same hotel and is there at the ground monitoring all the movements. Also, there is a mandatory ACU workshop for players on the dos and don'ts, and if any player fails to report a corrupt approach, there are sanctions in place. Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan was suspended in 2021 for not reporting a corrupt approach during his IPL stint in the previous season. RCB are currently placed eighth with four points after two wins and three defeats.

Its total number of users now stands at 314.8 million. Meanwhile, Airtel has lost users, and its numbers went down from 325.1 million to 321.8 million.

 The TRAI report also mentioned that a total of 4.57 million requests were received for Mobile Number Portability in April 2019. Jio also continued to maintain its top rank in the number of broadband subscribers with 314.81 million users. ‘Impossible to run operations’ In the meanwhile state-owned BSNL which actually added 0.2 million subscribers in April has a different set of woes.

The company has no money to pay salaries to its employees to the tune of ₹8.5 billion. “The gap between monthly revenues and bare expenses to continue operations as a going concern has reached to a level where continuing with the BSNL operations would be nearly impossible without immediate infusion of adequate equity,” the <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/nearly-impossible-to-run-operations-bsnl/articleshow/69920159.cms">Times of India</a> quoted a letter sent by Puran Chandra, senior general manager at BSNL’s corporate budget and banking division, to the joint secretary in the telecom ministry.

9 mind-blowing facts that show just how wealthy Mukesh Ambani, the richest person in Asia, really is

<ul><li>Reliance Marine was today admitted for insolvency proceedings. </li><li>Reliance Marine is a subsidiary of Reliance Naval which itself is on the verge of bankruptcy. </li><li>It is the second company of Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) after Reliance Communications to head to bankruptcy. </li></ul> This could be the worst year of 60-year-old <keyword id="9171" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Anil-Ambani">Anil Ambani</keyword>’s life. Within two months of Reliance Communications heading to bankruptcy, yet another company Reliance Marine was today admitted for insolvency proceedings, as per<a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/transportation/shipping-/-transport/reliance-marine-to-face-insolvency-proceedings/articleshow/70782215.cms?UTM_Source=Google_Newsstand&amp;UTM_Campaign=RSS_Feed&amp;UTM_Medium=Referral"> an ET report</a>. The group’s telecom venture, Reliance Communications <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/telecom/telecom-news/reliance-communications-heads-to-bankruptcy-court/articleshow/69122711.cms?from=mdr">went bankrupt </a>in May with massive unpaid dues of around ₹46,000 crore. Reliance Marine and Offshore is a subsidiary of Reliance Naval, whose shares are trading at a mere ₹1.22. The debt of Reliance Naval is a 100 times that of the company’s market value of ₹90 crore today (August 22). Ballooning debt Reliance Naval’s subsidiary Reliance Marine has debt of around ₹1,000 crore and the lenders include government firms like NBFC and IFCI, who filed the bankruptcy petition as early as 2017, which has been accepted today. A company spokesperson has not responded to Business Insider’s queries on the development. Anil Ambani had bought over Pipavav Defence, a struggling company in 2015 and renamed it Reliance Naval, hoping to bag defence engineering contracts from the government. And he did. The company had contracts worth ₹2,500 crore from the Indian Navy, but as the deadline was overshot by 4 years, it decided to encash the bank guarantees that RNaval gave. Crisis of confidence A second group company going bankrupt will add to crisis of confidence in connection with Anil Ambani. Auditors have been pointing out discrepancies in the financials of his companies, or even quitting his companies. In June, PriceWaterHouseCoopers has quit as the auditing firm of Reliance Capital and Reliance Home Finance saying that it “<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/anil-ambani-reliance-capital-auditor-pwc-resigns/articleshow/69750766.cms">impaired its</a> independence”. Recently, Reliance Capital’s board gave a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/reliance-capital-share-price-as-its-board-clears-it-of-pwcs-charges/articleshow/70588987.cms">clean chit to </a>the management over the allegations. Added to that, yet another of its company Reliance Infrastructure’s auditors Pathak HD&amp; Associates who pointed out that there was money missing from<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/anil-ambani-owned-rel-infra-auditor-says-money-missing/articleshow/69819256.cms"> their balance sheet</a>, and that the audit was hence incomplete. Lack of confidence has hurt <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/article/markets/adag-stocks-tumble-after-rpower-posts-loss-in-q4-rinfra-defers-result-119061000163_1.html">the share prices </a>of all the group companies, and in turn, the small investors who hold the stock.

But three Indian billionaires had an exceptionally good year in spite of a slowdown. And, they are the usual suspects — Mukesh Ambani, Gautam Adani, and Uday Kotak. This year, 15 Indian billionaires lost over $1 billion, but the trio’s wealth grew substantially. Ambani, the chairman of India’s most valued companies added $4.1 billion to his net worth. Amongst others, his telecom venture seems to be paying off. As he added 340 million subscribers in three years of launch, his shareholders rewarded him handsomely. But it is not just Jio, revenues from Reliance Retail too grew at 47.5% to ₹38,196 crore in the quarter ending June 2019. The venture which was launched in 2015, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/mukesh-ambanis-reliance-retail-reports-over-47-growth-in-revenue/articleshow/70295939.cms">is now seeing the benefits of scale</a>, in the CFO’s own words. Uday Kotak, the billionaire promoter of <keyword id="46013" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kotak-Mahindra-Bank">Kotak Mahindra bank</keyword>, also added $4 billion to his net worth. All this is thanks to the government’s move to reduce the corporate tax rate from 30% to 22%, reported Forbes. His share value increased 39% in a year. India’s banking sector is under pressure because of loans which turned non-performing assets. According to Bloomberg, five of the 10<a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/news/indias-bank-shares-are-ruining-value-buying-in-emerging-markets/articleshow/71482400.cms"> worst performing</a> financial firms on the MSCI Emerging Markets since May were from India. Kotak Mahindra Bank however is an oak in a forest of willows. In the first quarter of the year, the bank’s <a href="https://www.livemint.com/companies/company-results/kotak-mahindra-bank-q1-net-profit-rises-33-on-lower-provisions-1563795009867.html">profits rose 33%</a>, on lower provisions which is basically an indicator of good asset quality. Its net NPA also declined from 0.97% last year to 0.75% in 2019. All these factors and more helped the country’s third largest bank retain and even gain share value, helping Uday Kotak increase his wealth. The third gainer who bucked the slowed economic trend was Gautam Adani, who owns India’s largest private port at Mundra. Gautam Adani’s net worth increased from $8.7 billion in 2018 to $11.4 billion — all thanks to the new businesses he is venturing into. His position in the list also jumped from eight to become the second richest person on the list, in a year. He is venturing into new businesses like airport management, data centre parks, roads, water infrastructure, aerospace and defence. The growth of Adani Group between 2014 and 2019 can be attributed to the Indian government. Adani won 25 out of 126 bids government bids across the various industries of the group. Moreover, he also got clearance to kickstart its Australian coal mine project after 9 years of delay — bringing his massive $10 billion investment into the mine — to fruition.
