Sanjeev Gupta has decided to withdraw all his pending 21 complaints before the BCCI ombudsman-cum-ethics officer Vineet Saran. In an email to the BCCI ombudsman (a copy of which is with mid-day), Gupta cited an “unforeseen ugly incidence (sic)” that occurred on August 20 which “deteriorated” his health “drastically”.  

The incident has led to Gupta abruptly ending his six-and-a-half years of, “selfless, pure intent for letter and spirit compliance” of the Justice Lodha reforms accepted by the Supreme Court of India “to safeguard” his “health and life.”
