Speaking on the issue Sandeep Patil, Joint Commissioner (Crime) said that the arrest came after the CCB registered an FIR against two bookies. “While one accused, Bhavesh Bafna, has been arrested, the other person, identified as Sanyam, is yet to be arrested,” he said.

The duo had approached the Ballari Tuskers, a cricket team, to give more than ten runs per over, but the bowlers refused,” he added.
