Ahmedabad: Bollywood producer Prakash Chandani, who is under the watch of the police for his alleged role in an Indian Premier League (IPL) betting racket, was today detained by the immigration officials at Sardar Vallabhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad and later handed over to the police.
Co-producer of film 'Gali-Gali Chor Hai', Mr Chandani, against whom a lookout notice was released by the investigating agencies, was detained by the immigration officials after he arrived at the airport on an Emirates flight from Dubai, an airport official said.
He has been handed over to the Sardarnagar police station, he said.
