Panaji, May 28: A Mumbai-Gurgaon angle has surfaced in the Indian Premier League (IPL) betting scandal after police arrested six bookies in Goa for accepting bets on matches, including the tournament final played in Kolkata Sunday.
According to Deputy Inspector General of Police O.P. Mishra, while all the six arrested bookies hailed from Mumbai, the villa they had rented in a coastal village in Goa belonged to a resident of Haryana's Gurgaon, located in the National Capital Region.
"We will charge the owner of the villa who rented it out to bookies and allowed it to be used for criminal activity," Mishra told IANS. The owner, he said, has been identified as Sushant Chabra.
