IPL betting: Court rejects plea for police remand of 6 bookies

May 22, 2013 18:40

A local court today remanded six bookies, associated with IPL betting syndicate, in judicial custody till June 5 after rejecting the plea of the Mumbai crime branch which sought their remand and reprimanding it for deficient probe in the case.

"Despite ample opportunities provided, the investigating officer has not pointed out who has been cheated and why," Additional Metropolitan Magistrate M N Saleem observed, apparently referring to cheating and forgery charges slapped on the accused, while remanding them in judicial custody.

The accused have been booked under relevant sections of Information Technology Act, Bombay Gambling Prohibition Act and IPC sections including 420, 465, and others related to cheating and forgery. The magistrate also reprimanded the police for seeking extension of their remand on grounds similar to those on which they had earlier secured their remand.
