Mumbai, Jan 18 (IBNS) The BCCI's Disciplinary Committee on Monday imposed life ban on cricketer Ajit Chandila and barred Hiken Shah from playing cricket in connection with the IPL spot fixing scandal, reports said.

The BCCI disciplinary committee is headed by the cricket body's president Shashank Manohar.

Chandila and Shah had appeared in person before the Committee on December 24 and were given time till January 4 to file a written response to the charges against them.

Chandila was earlier acquitted along with S. Sreesanth and 41 other accused in the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal.

The infamous IPL controversy broke out during the sixth edition of the Indian Premier League, during which Rajasthan Royals cricketers Sreesanth, Chandila and Chavan were accused of tarnishing the image of the game.

Special Cell of the Delhi Police had named 42 accused in the case in its charge sheet out of whom, six are absconding.

Earlier, the players were granted bail due to lack of evidence after the Delhi Police arrested the trio in May 2013.
