S Ahmed Ali | TNN


Mumbai: The city crime branch on Friday told a court here that they have transcripts of the conversations between Gurunath Meiyappan alias Guru and Vindu Dara Singh. The police sought an extension of Vindu’s remand in order to confront the duo with details of their telephone conversations and investigate their links to betting in IPL.
    Vindu and his two associates—Prem Taneja and hawala operator Alpesh Patel-—were remanded to police custody till May 28 by the 19th Metropolitan magistrate.
    Investigating officer Nandkumar Gopale said that more than 250 calls were made between Guru and Vindu and the police have recovered Vindu’s iPad, laptop and mobile, which showed that he used to accept bets. Police also added charges of harbouring the two bookies, Sanjay Jaipur and Pawan Jaipur, against Vindu.
    Police said they were yet to get the CCTV footage showing Vindu providing shelter to the two bookies in a Juhu hotel,
buying tickets for them to Dubai, and dropping them at the airport. Vindu’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde Maneshinde while pressing for Vindu’s bail argued, “Vindu has cooperated with the investigations; he has admitted to have played bets but there is no material to say that he was in touch with any of the players. Vindu innocently had dropped his two friends at the airport without knowing that they were bookies.”
HC relief to bookie short-lived Chennai:In a windfall relief, an IPL betting suspect Sanjay Kumar Bafna, 50, got an interim relief from arrest on Thursday, when a vacation judge of the Madras HC ordered en masse relief to 230 anticipatory bail petitioners facing cheating charges. The relief, however, proved to be shortlived for Bafna, as on Friday the prosecution mentioned the matter before the same judge, who adjourned the case to May 29. TNN
