- 5 years ago
IPL Spotfixing: Sources in Mumbai Crime Branch, which has been investigating the umpire's role in the racket, revealed that Rauf had been involved in dealings with some of the bookies arrested by them.
In fact, a hamper brimming with pay-offs - including gold ornaments, watches and other electronic appliances - is now stuck at the air cargo at Delhi airport. The 'gifts' were dispatched by Pawan Jaipur, a bookie who has since been arrested by the Mumbai Crime Branch.
`The consignment was handed over by Pawan to Bollywood actor Vindu Dara Singh, who was to deliver it to Rauf. Rauf was in Delhi for a match and was staying at a five-star hotel there,` said a Crime Branch official. Vindu passed on the task to Prem Taneja, a Delhi-based businessman.
But before he could deliver the gifts to Rauf, Crime Branch officials arrested him. `With Taneja being accused, the consignment which he was to deliver to Rauf is still lying in the air cargo at Delhi airport,` a source from the Crime Branch revealed.
