Arrested Indian pacer S Sreesanth and 13 others, including two other cricketers of Rajasthan Royals franchise, were today sent to police custody for five days by a Delhi court for being quizzed in connection with the IPL spot-fixing scandal case.
Delhi police told the court that it seemed more persons are involved and fresh arrests are expected.
Early today Sreesanth and his IPL teammates Ajit Chandila and Ankit Chavan, who were arrested in
Mumbai, were brought to the Saket district court complex in New Delhi with 11 Mumbai and Delhi based bookies.
They were produced at the residence of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Lokesh Kumar Sharma inside the Saket court complex and asked to appear one-by-one before him.
