New Delhi: A Delhi court on Saturday deferred
the hearing on the bail pleas of suspended Rajasthan Royals cricketer
Ajit Chandila and five others in the IPL spot-fixing scandal case till
Monday, after it was informed that the Senior Public Prosecutor (SPP)
was not present.
Additional Sessions Judge Ajay Kumar adjourned the hearing on the
bail applications of accused bookies Ramesh Vyas, Ashwani Aggarwal,
Deepak Kumar, Sunil Bhatia and an ex-Ranji player Baburao Yadav, besides
Chandila.
"The present bail applications are adjourned for June 17," the
court said, while asking the Senior Public Prosecutor (SPP) to remain
present on the day.
The Delhi Police's Special Cell informed the judge that the SPP
appointed for this case will be returning by next week, as he was out of
town.
Meanwhile, the police has filed its reply to bail plea of Vyas,
saying the accused should not be granted relief as he was in direct
contact with the underworld and was running the syndicate on their
behest in south India.
"Ramesh Vyas, whose arrest in this case had been effected on June
8, and who has been remanded to judicial custody, has disclosed the role
played by Ashwani as link between fixers, bookies, hawala operators of
India and the syndicate member who are operating from Dubai and
Pakistan," the police said.
It further stated that Vyas was controlling the entire South India
network and Ashwani was looking north India operations on behalf of
D-company.
The police yesterday in its reply had opposed Chandila's bail plea,
saying he was a "key conspirator" in the entire IPL spot fixing case
and was acting at the behest of a syndicate run by gangster Dawood
Ibrahim.
The Delhi Police on May 16 had arrested three cricketers -- S
Sreesanth, Chandila and Ankeet Chavan of Rajasthan Royal's -- on charges
of spot-fixing.
The Delhi Police had slapped provisions of Maharashtra Control of
Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) on Sreesanth, Chandila, Chavan and on 25
others in the case, alleging that they were acting under the command of
Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Shakeel.
The court had granted bail to Sreesanth, Chavan and 19 others due to lack of evidence to be charged under MCOCA.
