JUSTICE MUDGAL IPL PROBE COMMITTEE 201463(iv) Role of Chennai PoliceA. The Committee desired to verify the interrogationreport pertaining to Utham Jain @ Kitty inconnection with Q branch CID case no. 1/2013 u/S120B 468,471 IPC and the Passports Act 1967 asdeposed by G. Sampath Kumar. The Superintendentof Police Q Branch CID (Internal Security) appearedbefore the Committee at 11:00 AM on 25.01.2014.She admitted that there was a file in the Q branchpertaining to the aforesaid case. The Committee wasassured that the file would be produced at 4 PM bythe Q branch CID (Internal Security) and theinvestigating officer would be present. Thereafter, noone appeared before the Committee from Q branchat 4 PM and the concerned file was not produced.There was no information and/or anycommunication conveyed to the Committee either.B. The incident is important because the thenSuperintendent of Police of the Q Branch who hadsubmitted the interrogation report on 23.05.2013had deposed before the Committee that Shri UthamJain @ Kitty had stated about a match fixing dealconcluded on 27.04.2013 which implicated onimportant Indian player, Gurunath Meiyappan andone Shri Vikram Agarwal.

Shri Utham Jain @ Kitty after his interrogation bythe Q branch was handed over to the CBCID branchof Chennai police. Apparently, no investigation onthe match fixing was ever carried out by theChennai Police and the officers who were privy tothe contents of the Kitty’s statement under Section161 of the Cr.P.C. were immediately transferred outfrom their respective positions. Curiously, theinterrogation report of Kitty by the CBCID Branch ofChennai Police do not reveal anything about anydeal on 27.04.2013.D. This matter is of grave significance. There is anecessity for a further probe into the matter and thesame may therefore be directed by the Hon’bleSupreme Court.III.ALLEGATIONS AGAINST OTHER PLAYERSBoth Mumbai Police and Delhi Police have stated before theCommittee that the conversations as recorded in the tapesindicate connections of some Indian and Foreign playerswith betting activities.
