Engineer also urged the media to have patience and not stretch much in getting the information on the unsavoury issue.

"Since the process has started I will request the media not to seek any further clarification or information. I will furnish my report to chief commissioner of IPL keeping in view the ICC code of conduct and interest of cricket," he said.

Earlier, Punjab Cricket Association president IS Bindra said they will provide all the logistical support to Engineer to conduct the inquiry.

"Farokh has been asked to adjudicate the matter and a complaint has been forwarded to him. We have been asked (by Lalit Modi) to provide logistic support to Engineer," Bindra said.
