Kundra tweeted after reports emerged that he had confessed to betting during questioning on Wednesday.
Kundra's passport has been seized by Delhi Police which questioned him in connection with the IPL spot-fixing scandal and allegations that he was into betting. Police have asked Kundra not to leave the country.

"He used to bet through Goenka, who is also a bookie," he said.
