CEO of Chennai Super Kings, Gurunath Meiyappan has been asked to appear on Friday in Mumbai before Crime Branch Police in connection with the IPL betting scandal, police said.

Mumbai Police will on Thursday question BCCI president N Srinivasan's son-in-law and CEO of Chennai Super Kings Gurunath Meiyappan in connection with the IPL betting scandal.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is likely to quiz a Joint Secretary level officer in connection with his alleged meeting with the wife of arms dealer Abhishek Verma at his office.

Lawyer Rebecca John has claimed that the Police involved in the IPL spot-fixing probe were "deliberately planting leaks" in the media against her client, Test bowler Sreesanth.

While Gurunath Meiyappan is the latest name to have come under scrutiny in the IPL spot-fixing scandal, Crime Branch sources say the tainted actor has acknowledged that he supplied girls to bookmakers in order to extract information for placing safe bets. Cops say small-time actor Vindoo Dara Singh has been singing like a canary in the custody of Mumbai Crime Branch’s Property Cell, and has admitted he supplied girls to bookies. Also, Vindoo had allegedly shared around 35 calls in one day with Gurunath Meiyappan - CEO of Chennai Super Kings and son-in law of BCCI chief and owner of the franchise N Srinivasan - the latest name to have come under the scanner in the IPL spot-fixing scandal. Cops have also recovered various photos of Vindoo with several cricketers.

There is no "straight link" between bookie Ramesh Vyas and actor Vindoo Dara Singh, who has been arrested by Mumbai Police in the IPL spot-fixing scandal, Delhi Police said on Wednesday.

Disgraced cricketer Ajit Chandila was allegedly paid at least Rs 49 lakh by bookies for spot-fixing IPL matches this season and of this, Rs 15 lakh was given for one over in a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 17 but he was arrested before the game, investigators claimed on Wednesday.

The arrest of Bollywood actor Vindoo Dara Singh in connection with IPL spot-fixing scandal seems to have opened the Pandora’s Box. The phone-call details accessed by the police indicate that BCCI chief N Srinivasan's son-in-law Guru Meiyappan has been closely associated with Vindoo.

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday ordered perjury prosecution of Bollywood actor Shayan Munshi and ballistic expert PS Manocha for turning hostile during their deposition in connection with Jessica Lal murder case. The court absolved 17 other witnesses.

Tainted Indian pacer S Sreesanth has claimed innocence in IPL spot-fixing scandal which surfaced on Thursday with the arrest of three players of Rajasthan Royals in this case.
