Match fixing Delhi court order shortly on custodial interrogation of Sanjiv Chawla

| Thursday | 13th February, 2020

New Delhi: A Delhi court Thursday reserved order on the police plea seeking 14-day custodial interrogation of Sanjiv Chawla, an alleged bookie and key accused in one of cricket's biggest match-fixing scandals that involved former South African captain Hansie Cronje. Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sudhir Kumar Sirohi is to pronounce the order shortly. Cronje, who died in a plane crash in 2002, was also involved, police told the court. Chawla is alleged to have played a central role in conspiring with Cronje to fix a South African tour to India in February-March 2000. The British court documents say Chawla is a Delhi-born businessman who moved to the United Kingdom on a business visa in 1996, but continued to make trips to India.
