Mumbai Police to question CSK honcho Meiyappan in IPL spot-fixing case -
Mumbai Police will question BCCI president N Srinivasan's son-in-law and CEO of Chennai Super Kings Gurunath Meiyappan on Thursday in connection with the IPL betting scandal.

According to police, the call records of Randhawa, son of late wrestler-actor Dara Singh, who was arrested in the IPL betting case on Tuesday, indicated that the actor had made several calls to Chennai and some of them to Meiyappan. Also Read: More players under scanner, says Delhi police chief
"Vindoo made several calls to Meiyappan of the Chennai IPL. We may call the person in question to ascertain the reasons why these frequent calls were made," an officer involved in the probe had said.
The 49-year-old actor was arrested for his alleged association with bookies. Vindoo, winner of reality TV show Bigg Boss season 3, was allegedly in touch with some bookies arrested in the scandal.

The ongoing IPL found itself in a mess after speedster S Sreesanth and two of his Rajasthan Royals team mates were arrested last week by police, which claimed they received upto Rs 60 lakh from bookies for bowling one manipulated over.
