IPL SPOT FIXING SCAM: 20 lakh found in kit bag at Chandila’s aunt’s house


Cops Also Hunt For Sreesanth Money Trail
New Delhi: The money trail in the IPL spot-fixing scandal is getting established with the Delhi police on Monday recovering Rs 20 lakh from the residence of Rajasthan Royals player Ajit Chandila’s aunt in Palwal, a Haryana town close to Chandila’s hometown, Faridabad.

Early in the morning a police team, with Chandila in tow, reached Palwal to carry out the search at his aunt’s
house. The money was recovered from a cricket kit bag. “Chandila helped us locate the bag. The entire process was videographed so that it can be produced in court as evidence,” said a senior officer.

Top police sources said that the money trail in the case of India international S Sreesanth was also close to being established. It’s learned that the pacer went into a flurry of buying lavish gifts for his friends. The cops are trying to establish these purchases with the date around which bookies allegedly paid him.

In Chandila’s case, police suspect that the recovered money is the amount he allegedly took from the bookies as advance.
