Mumbai: Top officers of the Mumbai Police today made a presentation before the Supreme Court-appointed Indian Premier League (IPL) probe panel to look into allegations of betting and spot fixing.

Sources have told NDTV that the Mumbai Police told the panel how letters and emails to Gurunath Meiyappan from the BCCI addressed him as team owner/principal. The police told the panel how Mr Meiyappan was sharing inside information and how his team lost the May 12 Chennai Super Kings versus Rajasthan Royals match.

Sources add, the 150-slide powerpoint presentation and the discussion lasted two and half hours. During the session, the Mumbai Police also elaborated on how Mr Rauf spoke to bookies and took gifts from them.
