NEW DELHI: S Sreesanth and two other players of Rajasthan Royals, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila, have been arrested by Delhi Police on charges of spot-fixing in IPL.

According to the TV reports, Delhi police have arrested seven bookies and are looking out for more.

Bookies from Maharashtra have also been arrested for the charges of spot-fixing.

The reports further added that the players were even involved in spot-fixing in Rajasthan Royals' match on Wednesday with Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium.

Incriminating evidence has been found by Delhi police from tapping the phones of several cricketers and bookies and the process of tapping has been going on for a long time on the suspicion of spot-fixing.

WWE is more of a legit thing. IPL is fraud. Public also has role in it. People are betting for money & they only want money..GREED!!

If the police were more efficient, I think there would be arrests from almost every team and this IPL would have been closed down.

I hate IPL BTW, its just a ploy for rich b****es to dump their black money and earn profits as white money.

IMHO, I am glad that this happened. Now many of the stupid indians won't say that pakistani players are only involved in fixing (recent times). :-D
this ipl has created a dangerous culture of rave parties, money flying like nothing... i went to the local shop and one shopkeepers friend came and asked to the owner 'kispe bet lagaye hain'

no point in blaming the police, its just the hand of the babus which maintains the so called law and order

TOI said:
Spot-fixing is different from match fixing as the whole match and the result is not fixed but parts of the match are fixed such as balls, sixes and fours at particular times.
What's the difference anyway, its the pay for losing!

:/ those cricketers just threw away lucrative careers
fixing is for betting, and so far the only evidence is for spot fixing. they dont need to fix for the viewers or for entertainment value
stuff they are doing for entertainment value is a diff problem

Yeah I know this isn't relevant but its kinda lame that mainstream media is going ga-ga over this but no1 isn't highlighting the issue about LBT at all. IPL looks more like a front for gambling, ad revenue, doing after parties and stuff like that.

Tucking in the towel inside the trousers before bowling was a signal to be given to the bookies by Shreesanth so that the bet can take place.

Per the evidence, in the match between Rajasthan and Pune Warriors at Jaipur on May 5, the offspinner Chandila had agreed to give away 14 runs off his bowling in one over but forgot to give the signal to the bookies. In the concerned over, Chandila began with a wide down the leg side and then, with fine leg up in the circle, drifted the second ball way down the Robin Uthappa's pads and was swept away. The third ball was on the stumps but short in length and Uthappa cut it away to the point boundary. A dot and a single followed and the last ball was full on Aaron Finch's pads. Again, with fine leg up, that was easy fodder for the batsman to sweep a boundary.

Have Sreesanth and Ankeet Chavan confessed to spot-fixing in IPL?
