Mumbai: The Bombay High Court today rejected the anticipatory bail plea of two bookies from Jaipur who are accused of conspiring with film actor Vindoo Dara Singh and Pakistani umpire Asad Rauf for placing bets in IPL T20 series.
The court said it was not inclined to grant relief to Pawan and Sanjay Jaipur, both brothers, after prosecution opposed their bail saying the duo might abscond, tamper with evidence or impede trial.
The prosecution argued that there was ample material of not only their involvement in betting and gambling but in the entire conspiracy.
According to the crime branch, the Jaipur brothers had procured SIM cards through forged documents which were later used to place bets through Vindoo Dara Singh.
The police also alleged that the two were in touch with Rauf.
The crime branch had earlier arrested Vindoo and Gurunath Meiyappan, son-in-law of N Srinivasan, who stepped aside as BCCI president in view of inquiry into the case, and several other bookies for their alleged involvement in the T20 betting scandal.
Vindoo, Meiyappan and other bookies were granted bail later.
