Kishore Gayakwad, Chavan's lawyer, also told, "Chavan's marriage has already been fixed and it is on June 2, so he be granted bail."
Sreesanth too had applied for bail saying, "no case is made out against me and I have been falsely implicated."
Investigation in fixing scandal is getting murkier day by day. It was learnt that cricketers were lure with money, expensive gifts and women.
Recently, a CCTV footage was aired on TV new channels showing Sreesanth, Chavan along with one prime bookie Jiju Janardhan.
