BCCI Women’s Grievance Cell Head Resigns

Written by N Krishnamurthy

The head of the BCCI’s Internal Complaints Committee, Karina Kriplani, on Friday resigned from her post barely six months after the parent body formed the women’s grievance cell.

Advocate Kriplani’s resignation came a day after the Committee Of Administrators (CoA) announced the formation of an independent three-member committee to probe the sexual harassment allegations against Board CEO Rahul Johri.

Before her resignation, Kriplani refused to comment on whether her committee would be involved in the Johri probe after the formation of a fresh panel, which has 15 days to submit is report.

BCCI acting Secretary Amitabh Chaudhary said there is no fresh complaint against Johri after media speculation that a new accuser had come forward against the top official.
