Yadav introduced Sunil Bhatia to Chandila and fixed a meeting between them in Delhi. Delhi Police arrested cricketers S Sreesanth, Chandila and Ankeet Chavan and 12 bookies in a post-midnight operation in Delhi, Mumbai and Ahmedabad on 16 May for spot fixing in IPL matches for payments of up to Rs 60 lakh, just for giving away a pre-determined number of runs in an over. Three more people were arrested in connection with the case Sunday early morning from Maharashtra’s Aurangabad city. The three - Sunil Bhatia, 44, Kiran Dole, 43, and Manish Gudewa, 32 - all natives of Nagpur, are “fixers” who mediated between the bookies and the players. The police officer said that they have sent the voice sample of the two arrested bookies, Manan and Jiju, and Chandila to the Delhi based Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) Monday to match their recorded voice conversation during the alleged deal-making.
