Bets, sex and dhoka
Mumbai police crime branch officers investigating the IPL betting scandal say Vindoo Dara Singh not only placed bets for important people in the IPL, he also supplied them girls, leading them to suspect this too may be connected to the spot-fixing scandal.
The crime branch has already recorded the statements of two models from Mumbai’s plush Lokhandwala area. These two models are not from Mumbai, but had settled down in Mumbai. They had met Vindoo at a party two years ago and developed a friendship with him, they said, adding that later Vindoo started using them to get favours from some IPL franchise officials.
“Vindoo had sent these two girls to an influential person from one of the franchises. One of these girls had in fact met the said person on four occasions. We want to probe the reason for supplying the girls and whether it was done as a favour for passing crucial team information to bookies,” said an officer.
The statements of both girls were recorded on Tuesday itself, a day after Vindoo’s arrest.
Security agencies recorded a telephonic conversation between Vindoo and an IPL franchise official some weeks ago. In this conversation, both also talked about the models. The call details of Vindoo and the official also show repeated calls to each other and calls to the models. These two models were questioned by Mumbai crime branch officials who believe they are a key link.
