We are putting cameras where players are playing and there is a fair play committee which includes three grandmasters and two players," Bharat told ANI."All things are completely followed but in this kind of charity match, we didn't expect anybody to do this. It is very unfortunate such things have happened. He is not a player and he has apologised in public. He is not a regular player or our member, we don't have jurisdiction, he was doing it for charity he shouldn't have done. This is really bad. For the noble cause, we are helping people and such things shouldn't happen," Bharat added.After reports came to the light, claiming that Kamath had been banned, he too revealed that he took help from some people and computers to analyse the game.
