CBI probes pan-India IPL betting racket with links to Pakistan
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has launched an investigation into certain private individuals and “unknown public servants” based in Delhi, Jodhpur, Jaipur, and Hyderabad, based on “reliable” information that a network of individuals involved in cricket betting are influencing the outcome of Indian Premier League (IPL) matches based on inputs received from Pakistan.
The accused allegedly ran a pan-India network to entice people to bet on the Indian Premier League.
On Friday, the central agency filed two criminal conspiracy, cheating, forgery of the Indian Penal Code, and anti-corruption cases in the matter.
“Based on information received from Pakistan, reliable information has been received about a network of individuals involved in cricket betting influencing the outcome of Indian Premier League (IPL) matches.” They are defrauding the general public by inducing them to bet on IPL matches under the guise of betting,” the agency stated in one of the First Information Reports (FIRs).
“In connivance with unknown bank officials, they have opened bank accounts (mule accounts) using fake identities and know your customer documents (ID&KYC) for this purpose.” “These bank accounts were opened using forged information, such as multiple dates of birth, and without due diligence by bank officials,” the report stated.
The agency also stated that a portion of the money received from the general public in India for betting was shared with their foreign associates via hawala transactions.
According to the CBI, the accused were in contact with a Pakistani national named Waqas Malik, whose phone number had already been obtained during the preliminary investigation.
Three people have been named in the agency’s first FIR: Dileep Kumar, Gurram Satish, and Gurram Vasu, and this network has been involved in betting since 2013, according to the agency. The CBI claims that the accused’s account contained transactions worth around ten crore rupees.
The central agency has named four people – Sajjan Singh, Prabhu Lal Meena, Ram Avtar, and Amit Kumar Sharma – as well as unknown government officials and private individuals who have been involved in IPL cricket betting since 2010. In the second case, the transactions are close to 1 crore.
Officials who did not want to be identified said they are investigating a larger conspiracy.
According to reports, Jimmy Kimmel is thinking about leaving his late-night show to devote more time to his son Billy’s continuous struggle with congenital heart problems.
This week, a number of people with knowledge of the situation disclosed that Kimmel intends to leave Jimmy Kimmel Live! after his contract expires in 2025 in order to spend more time with his wife Molly McNearney, who co-head writes the show.
Kimmel’s choice, according to Radar Online, is a result of Billy’s health issues, especially in the wake of Billy’s most recent third open-heart surgery. But now he’s a “healthy kid.”
The Late Night presenter shared the news on Instagram in late May, saying, “We went into this experience with a lot of optimism and nearly as much fear and came out with a new valve inside a happy, healthy kid.”
Sources close to Radar Online claim that the Kimmels are getting ready to step back from the spotlight. According to an informant, Jimmy and his spouse prioritise their family over notoriety. They know what to do financially, so they’re prepared to step back from the spotlight and concentrate on what matters most.
“Life is too short to waste time on a job that brings you no happiness.”
Kimmel’s spokesperson denied the findings.
Even though Kimmel’s publicist denied any talks regarding his possible resignation and called the claim “silly,” especially in light of his son’s recent surgery.
“Though they’ll likely stay busy producing and developing shows behind the scenes, their main focus will be spending precious time with their family,” an insider was quoted by Perez Hilton.
Billy’s congenital heart issue was initially made public by Kimmel in 2017, not long after Billy was born, along with the difficulties his family was facing. Billy was born with a heart condition, according to an echocardiography, a type of cardiac sonography that was performed, Kimmel disclosed on his show.
“Tetralogy of Fallot associated with pulmonary atresia.” In essence, there is a hole in the wall separating his left and right sides of the heart, and the pulmonary valve was totally obstructed.
Three days after his birth, Billy had his first successful open-heart surgery. A few months later, he had another one. Billy had his third operation last month at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. This was his most recent procedure.
