Jaipur police to share details of 250 phones with Delhi cops

Jaipur police will share with their Delhi counterparts the call details of mobile phones seized during raids to assist with the ongoing IPL spot-fixing probe. “Over 250 mobile phones, some laptops and other items were seized during 16 raids in the city during the IPL season this year and call details of the mobile phones will be shared with Delhi police to assist them in the ongoing probe in spot fixing,” a police officer said. “This is to ascertain whether there was any connection of the bookies arrested in Jaipur,” the officer said, adding, that the city police was unaware of any spot fixing but action on large scale was taken against betting.

Additional Police Commissioner Girraj Meena said a BCCI officer had contacted Jaipur Police to collect details about a betting racket which was busted on May 5 during the IPL match between Rajasthan Royals and Pune Warriors here. “A BCCI officer came to us seeking details of the persons arrested in betting. After checking credentials, we provided him the information,” he said. Meena, however, clarified the city police was not informed whether the inquiry was related to the spot fixing scandal: “BCCI officer was keeping watch over the activity of betting, and had sought details from us about those who were arrested for betting in the season,” he said. On May 5, the police had busted a betting racket with the arrest of eight persons from an apartment here, and had seized around 150 mobile phones along with other items from there, he said. PTI
