Mumbai: The local magistrate's court directed the Mumbai police on Monday to probe a case against the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and its functionaries for "cheating" the public in the wake of the Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket spot-fixing scandal.
The local Marine Drive police will now investigate the case and file a report before the magistrate by September.
Social activist Naresh Makani had filed a case against BCCI and others, alleging that "all IPL cricket matches were fixed and franchise owners were involved in it".

wake of the IPL spot-fixing scandal.
The complaint names functionaries including BCCI's president who stepped aside, N Srinivasan, along with Gurunath Meiyappan, the owner of Chennai Super Kings, arrested by the Mumbai police.
Makani had prayed for a separate case of cheating to be registered against them.
The complaint had also mentioned that a 2012 report on anti-corruption measures commissioned by the International Cricket Council, had stated that IPL was ripe for match fixing.
