JUSTICE MUDGAL IPL PROBE COMMITTEE 201453was a photograph of Mr. Chandresh Jain @ Jupiter with anInternational foreign player.In course of interception of phone calls between bookies,punters as well as foreign bookies in Pakistan etc, theMumbai Police had unearthed references made by bookiesto connections of some Indian and foreign players withbetting activities. Officers of the Mumbai police indicatedthat such investigations were not carried out because therewere no corroborations. It appears further from thedeposition of officers of the Mumbai Police that theseinformations were not taken forward in connection withsuch names, because in view of the considered opinion ofthe Mumbai Police, the bookies were simply “boasting” toincrease their own influence.It would therefore appear that all investigations made byDelhi Police and Mumbai remained confined to fringeplayers and localised investigation into the activities ofbookies and fixers. It would appear that what wasinvestigated was merely the tip of the iceberg. Names ofvarious other national and international players cameup in course of the investigations but theseinformations have not been investigated by anyagency. The Delhi Police disclosed that Mr. S. Sreesanthhad given them information to the effect that three famousplayers representing the Indian team were also involvedwith bookies and were getting flats and gifts from them.Save and except questioning one of these three players, nofurther action was initiated by the Delhi Police.
