Continuing with its probe into spot-fixing in just-concluded IPL, Goa police on Monday arrested six bookies on an information provided by Delhi Police which are looking for three 'fixers' alleged to be conduits of three more cricketers.

The Special Cell Delhi Police, which has been on the pursuit of some bookies after registering a case, had informed the Goa police about the presence a few people in its area and their movement was being closely monitored, police said.

After monitoring a particular casino where the bets for IPL matches were being put, the police teams drew a blank till Goa police apprehended six bookies from a rented accommodation at Candolim, about nine kms away from Panaji.

Over two dozen mobile phones, laptops, iPads and huge amount of cash was recovered from the arrested bookies. Police said their voice samples will be taken to match with the recorded conversations that are in possession of the Delhi Police.

In the meantime, a hunt had been launched to nab three people who allegedly used to fix deals on behalf of the three cricketers other than those arrested by the special cell of the Delhi Police.

Mumbai police also arrested two bookies who were allegedly in contact with their counterparts in Pakistan for accepting bets.

With this, 12 persons have been arrested so far by Mumbai police in connection with the betting case being probed by it including Bollywood actor Vindoo Randhawa and CSK owner Gurunath Meiyappan.

Alleged bookies Dinesh Sharma and Kishor Pablani were produced before a metropolitan court which remanded them in police custody till 1st June.

Sanjay Kumar Bafna against whom a look out notice was issued in the IPL betting case was arrested by the city police at Chennai on Monday.

Bafna’s anticipatory bail application was adjourned by the Madras High Court to May 29th.

Another accused Prashant who was in three day’s police custody was produced at a local court on Monday.

The government has ruled out interference with BCCI unless it is absolutely necessary but said the cricketing body should have transparent and objective systems in place to prevent malpractices.

Law Minister Kapil Sibal said in New Delhi that the government should keep away from sports as far as possible.

He was responding to a question as to whether government should step into the affairs of the Board of Control for Cricket in India as questions are being raised over its functioning in the wake of spot-fixing allegations.

He said sports bodies across the world are not under government control. He added even the Indian Olympic Association and the Hockey Federation are not under government control.

On demands for bringing BCCI under the ambit of Right to Information Act, Sibal said it was up to the Sports Ministry to take a call.
