Thirteen years after the match fixing scandal involving former South African captain Hansie Cronje, Delhi Police Monday filed the charge sheet in a court here.<\/p>\n
In the charge sheet, Delhi Police named Cronje, who was killed in a plane crash in 2002, and five others, including Kishan Kumar, the brother of murdered T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar.<\/p>\n
Apart from Cronje and Kishan Kumar, London-based bookie Sanjeev Chawla, bookie Manmohan Khattar, Delhi-based bookie Rajesh Kalra and Sunil Dara alias Bittoo have also been named as accused.<\/p>\n
No other cricketer has been named in the charge sheet.<\/p>\n
The 90-page charge sheet will come up for consideration Tuesday before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Amit Bansal.<\/p>\n
The charge sheet was filed before link magistrate Akash Jain as Bansal was on leave.<\/p>\n
The charge sheet is mostly based on the King Commission’s report, confession of Cronje and telephonic intercepts, according to police sources.<\/p>\n
The Crime Branch of Delhi Police in April 2000 stumbled upon the match-fixing scandal when they intercepted calls of a London-based bookie.<\/p>\n
The case, pending for 13 years, drew police attention after 29 people were arrested in spot-fixing case in May this year, among them cricket players S. Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila.<\/p>\n
