JUSTICE MUDGAL IPL PROBE COMMITTEE 201455(i) Mr. Chandresh Patel, according to Delhi Police is oneof the key henchmen / fixer of Dawood Ibrahim. Hewas in direct contact with the bookies in Pakistan,and it was through him that the crime syndicateoperated by Dawood initiated spot fixing byRajasthan Players. Curiously, Chandresh Patelthough known to the Mumbai police to be a coconspiratorwith Vindoo Dara Singh is shown only asa witness and not as an accused in the Mumbaichargesheet.(ii) The other significant case is of one Mr. Ramesh Vyas.The statement under Section 18 made by RameshVyas under MCOCA in the Delhi case states that,Ramesh Vyas was introduced to one Dr. JavedChutani, the alleged right hand man of DawoodIbrahim by Chandresh Jain @ Jupiter who facilitatedhis entry into the syndicate.

It is not surprisingthat all the accused persons in both the cases arepresently on bail and possibly back in business for thecoming IPL season.The investigating agencies have also been frustrated intheir attempts, more often than not, in view of the absenceof an appropriate substantial law on the matters of bettingand fixing in sports.
