Nanavati’s report ready, will be submitted to BCCI today

“It’s a 14-page report. I have prepared it with carefully chosen words so that it’s easy to understand. I have mentioned only sensible things in it,” said Nanavati.

Nanavati had also recorded the statements of the match referee Farokh Engineer and the field umpires to facilitate his inquiry. Based on the report, the BCCI will give its verdict. Nanavati had met the players last Friday and recorded their statements.

During the hearing, according to a source, Harbhajan had pleaded guilty, adding that he would not repeat a similar offence in the future.

The BCCI set up a separate one-man inquiry committee to investigate into the case. Nanavati’s main job is to find out whether Harbhajan’s action was pre-meditated or provoked. “I am happy with my report. I have mentioned everything in it that I needed to,” said Nanavati.
