Justice Mukul Mudgal supports legalising sports betting
Justice Mukul Mudgal has headed the team that conducted an inquiry into the Indian Premier League (IPL) spot-fixing and betting scandals of the previous decade. He recently stated that sports betting should be legalised in India.
In an interview, the former Chief Justice of the Punjab High Court stated the legalising sports betting in the country would have a variety of benefits.
As asked about how he has always been an advocate of legalising sports betting, Mukul Mudgal said that the black money that currently goes to the criminal underworld will become white.
The former judge of the Delhi High Court has always been an outspoken believer in the legalisation of sports betting, and he is not the only one. Justice Lodha, along with the other three members of the Mudgal Committee, have also spoken in favour of the motion.
Recently, Indian politician Shashi Tharoor stated that it would greatly reduce the money that is unaccounted for and match-fixing. The 64-year-old expressed his surprise that the Indian government has not legalised sports betting yet, given how much it could benefit the country.
