your strong emotion on the topic is on display but unfortunately it falls seriously short on a little thing called logic.
as things stand BCCI
has the right to choose whether or not to use UDRS in matches involving India. matches not involving India are free to use or refuse to use it and indeed many matches not involving India have used UDRS. if you think that makes BCCI 'directly/indirectly liable' then you need to buy a dictionary and look up the meaning of 'choice'.

India has a right to say yes but they use the right rather stupidely by denying UDRS. And the reason for such denial also stupid and hard to believe.

which is entirely subjective opinion and one can reasonably argue that you have been blinkered by your usual antipathy about anything involving India/BCCI.
if they have the right of choice, it is their right to choose. no one has any job second guessing why they are doing it. if you don't like it, get the ICC to change the rules and make it compulsory.
BUT before that happens, this constant whining makes people sound really petulant.
for that matter we saw how accurate UDRS or its laws are. bell was plumb in front with the ball hitting the middle of middle stump according to hawk-eye. it was given not out because of some arbitary law that it can't be out if the impact is 2.8 m away from the stumps !
if we trust hawk-eye, there is absolutely no way that was not out !
right now I've more respect for what N Srinivasan said, perhaps he knows what he is saying and UDRS is indeed inaccurate for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is ICC's inability to understand technology and frame rules accordingly.

The reason BCCI provided rightfully create suspicion. The series against Sl where they got only one decision right may provide some circumstancial evidence for such suspicion.

BCCI would create suspicion in your mind even if they donated their entire coffers to the red cross tomorrow .
but I do note that cricinfo's unrelenting campaign of suggestive reporting by inserting a reference to the SL tour in every related and unrelated article has borne fruit in impressionable minds.
