JUSTICE MUDGAL IPL PROBE COMMITTEE 201461relating to the investigation conducted by the DelhiPolice. The Delhi Police themselves claim that thefour players were merely the tip of the iceberg. Theyhad materials on record which suggested that therewere definitely more players involved in spot /match fixing. Infact, S. Sreesanth had given theminformation that three prominent playersrepresenting India were also involved with bookiesand were getting flats and gifts from them.Curiously, the Delhi Police failed to investigate allsuch players whose names had cropped up duringinvestigation. Only one such player was summonedfor questioning by the Delhi Police. No further actionwas initiated. The transcripts of tape-recordedconversations between bookies, by Crime BranchDelhi Police also mention two other Indian stars.Delhi Police did not take all such informationforward and explained their conduct by saying thatthey had only limited information and because theywere aware that the bookies were generally in thehabit of boasting. It is difficult to accept suchexplanation and in fact Mr. Neeraj Kumar, formerly,Commissioner of Delhi Police stated in hisdeposition that further investigation should havebeen made as regard these references of bookies toplayers. If the tapes indicate criminality it is theresponsibility of the investigating agency to makeproper investigations so as to ascertain the truth.
