IPL Spot Fixing: All charges against Sreesanth, Chandila suspended

July 25, 2015 16:52

A Delhi court on Saturday discharged all 16 accused in the IPL spot fixing case, including cricketers S Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan.

The infamous IPL controversy broke out during the sixth edition of the Indian Premier League, during which Rajasthan Royals cricketers Sreesanth, Chandila and Chavan were accused of tarnishing the image of the game.

The Delhi Police, on May 16, 2013, arrested the three cricketers along with Sreesanth's friend and alleged booking Jiju Janardhan and 10 other bookies. While framing charges against them, the police had referred to telephonic conversations among the accused to support their claims.

The court had granted bail to Sreesanth, Chavan and various others accused for lack of evidence against them under the provisions of stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act.

Other accused, including Chandila, were also granted bail later on by the court.
