JUSTICE MUDGAL IPL PROBE COMMITTEE 201459Meiyappan was the focus is relatable to such shoddyinvestigation.C. It is revealed from the investigation of the DelhiPolice that Ramesh Vyas was the main kingpin ofthe betting operation maintained by DawoodIbrahim in Mumbai. The Delhi police claims thatwhatever information it had on Dawood’s operationshave been handed over to the Mumbai police. TheMumbai Police however, informed the panel thatthey have no conclusive material that DawoodIbrahim was linked with the betting operations inMumbai. Mumbai Police admitted that protection bythe underworld i.e. muscle power is essential to runan organised betting syndicate in Mumbai.
