A Delhi court on Tuesday sent cricketer S Sreesanth, his Rajasthan Royals teammates Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila, and eight bookies, all arrested for alleged spot fixing in the IPL, to additional five days in police custody.

The spot-fixing scandal widened further on Tuesday with the arrest of Bollywood actor Vindoo Dara Singh, son of late actor Dara Singh.

A man cannot be prosecuted for rape if he has sexual relationship with a woman with the intention to marry her but the wedlock could not take place due to some circumstances, the Supreme Court said on Monday.

In the wake of the spot-fixing scandal that has rocked the Indian Premier League, the organizers of the cash-rich T20 tournament have now stepped up security for the remaining four teams by providing them officers from its Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU).

The Supreme Court on Tuesday quashed a plea seeking stay on all remaining matches of IPL season 6 saying ‘it cannot be done just because of certain irregularities on the part of a few players’.

The board of iGate Corp, an information technology outsourcing services provider, has sacked Chief Executive Officer Phaneesh Murthy following an investigation into a claim of sexual harassment, the company said in a statement.

The news of S Sreesanth's arrest for alleged spot fixing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has come as a shocker for his family, cricket administrators, politicians and the man on the street in Kerala.

Defence Minister AK Antony on Wednesday said he has ordered an inquiry into fresh allegations of sexual misconduct levelled by the wife of a Navy officer posted in Karwar and will take "strongest" action if anyone is found guilty.

The Navy has been hit by yet another alleged sex scandal as the wife of a senior officer has charged her husband with forcing her to get ‘sexually involved’ with his colleagues, prompting Defence Minister AK Antony to order a probe.

South Korean President Park Geun-Hye personally apologized on Monday for an "unsavoury" incident during her US summit visit that led to the dismissal of her chief spokesman.
