IPL Cricket match fixing case--How Delhi Police stumbled upon spot-fixing in
IPL
It all started with a probe into a
case related to organised crime when an alert official
of
Delhi Police's Special Cell heard an unusual
conversation
about giving signals at the cricket ground.
This
generated some interest in the official who, after
informing his seniors, began finding as to who has to
give
signals and why.
After
monitoring a phone call, the investigation had
virtually turned pan-India with some of the bookies based
in
Gujarat and
Mumbai.
After
stumbling upon the "accidental" call, the Delhi
Police's Special Cell, which recently had Madan Mohan
Oberoi
as its Joint Commissioner after completing his tenure
with
CBI, began monitoring all the phones linked to one
call.
And as
time passed by, the Delhi Police sensed it was
a
sensational case.
Delhi Police Commissioner
Neeraj Kumar was personally
monitoring
the case almost on a daily basis and had
coordinated
with police forces of other states as well so that
there is no
faux pas.
And finally after recording
over 100s of hours of
conversations, Delhi Police decided to crack the whip
by
arresting
14 people including three players of Rajasthan
Royals --
S Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet
Chavan.
Meanwhile, the case for
which the monitoring was being
done is
still under investigation.
