Four cricket bookies arrested in Chennai

 

Chennai (IANS): Police in Tamil Nadu took into custody four cricket bookies on Friday, a day after three Rajasthan Royals players were arrested for allegedly spot fixing matches in exchange for money.

“We have raided eight to ten places here and have secured four cricket bookies involved in betting. It is not match fixing but betting. The investigation is in a preliminary stage,” an unnamed official of Crime Branch-Crime Investigation Department (CBCID) told IANS.

India fast bowler S. Sreesanth as well as his Rajasthan Royals teammates Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila were arrested by Delhi Police late Wednesday. Eleven bookies were also nabbed.
