Our friendship was based on certain other areas of common interest and had nothing to do with Cricket. I had no knowledge of Rattan Mehta's father being involved in any Narcotics case nor I have any knowledge of Rattan Mehta's sister being arrested for betting on cricket during World Cup 1999 by Delhi Police. I also state that I have never been to this house along with Ajay Sharma and had never offered to under perform in any match etc. On being asked whether I know Ameesh and Ajay Gupta, I state that I have no contacts with these two persons. I never intentionally under performed in any match.
All newspaper reports etc.
On being asked, whether I know Hiren Hathi, I state that I have known Hiren Hathi for a long time. He has been looking after arrangement of stay etc. On being asked about my relationship with Kapil Dev, I state that Kapil Dev is like a father to me and he has guided me from the time I started my cricketing career. Regarding the above, Ajay Jadeja stated before me that he confirms that the said portions of his statement have been correctly recorded. I meet so many people that it is very difficult to remember all the persons whom I meet.
