Delhi Police today supplied a copy of the charge sheet to Delhi-based bookies Rajesh Kalra and Sunil Dara alias Bittu, in connection with the 2000 cricket match fixing scandal case involving former South African captain Hansie Cronje and five others. The chargesheet was handed over to the duo who are presently out on bail following directions of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Amit Bansal. The court also granted exemption to accused Kishan Kumar, brother of slain T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar, from personal appearance for today. It directed the accused to apprise it before the next date of hearing if there was any deficiency in documents. The court had taken cognizance of the charge sheet filed by the Crime Branch of Delhi Police on July 23 against six prsons in which it said Hansie Cronje was paid one crore and 20 lakh rupees in two instalments for fixing matches 13 years back. The police, in its 93-page document, has chargesheeted the accused for offences of cheating and criminal conspiracy under the IPC. The court has abated the proceedings against Cronje, in view of his death in a plane crash in 2002.
