India fast bowler S Sreesanth, arrested and being quizzed for alleged spot fixing in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Friday moved a Delhi court seeking a copy of the FIR registered against him.<\/p>\n
The application, filed before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Lokesh Kumar Sharma, asked for a copy of the FIR for preparing his defence.<\/p>\n
Sreesanth and his Rajasthan Royals colleagues Ankeet Chavan, Ajit Chandila and 11 bookies were Thursday sent to five days police custody.<\/p>\n
Sreesanth’s advocate, Deepak Prakash, said the accused should be told about the grounds of arrest, adding that he is an international player and had no reasons to get involved in such acts.<\/p>\n
The three cricketers and 11 bookies, arrested by the Special Cell of Delhi Police from Delhi-NCR, Mumbai and Ahmedabad in connection with spot fixing, which includes bowling no-balls at pre-determined times, were sent to police custody till May 21.<\/p>\n
Police had sought seven days police remand of the 14 accused for unearthing the entire conspiracy and to know who are the other people or players involved in the fixing.<\/p>\n
Their custody was needed to confront them with each other, police said.<\/p>\n
Police had also said that their custody was needed to know the hawala channel used and the people involved in the money transaction.<\/p>\n
All the arrested were charged under section 420 (Cheating) and 120 (B) (Criminal Conspiracy) of the IPC.<\/p>\n
The Delhi Police arrested the three players in a post-midnight operation in Mumbai on May 16 for spot-fixing in IPL matches for payments of upto Rs 60 lakh just for giving away a pre-determined number of runs in an over.<\/p>\n
The cricketers had indulged in spot-fixing in at least three IPL matches as per arrangements with bookies who have underworld connections abroad.<\/p>\n
