New Delhi:
The Delhi Police is likely to file a chargesheet today in the Indian Premier League (IPL) spot-fixing case, which is expected to name underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
Rajasthan Royals players S Sreesanth, Ankit Chavan and Ajeet Chandila, who are accused of spot-fixing in the latest edition of the IPL held in April-May this year, along with more than 30 people are likely to be made accused, sources said.
Bookies Ramesh Vyas and Tinku Mandi, ex-Ranji player Babu Rao, Sreesanth's close aide Jiju Janardhan and Mohammed Yahya, who was picked up when he was fleeing to Dubai, are also likely to be named.
Apart from the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the chargesheet is also likely to invoke the stringent sections of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act or MCOCA against the accused.
Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar had earlier expressed his desire that chargesheet in this high profile case should be submitted before he retires on July 31.
The three players of Rajasthan Royals along with 11 bookies, were arrested from Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Delhi during the IPL-6 in May.
Another 15 people were arrested from different parts of the country later.
Twenty-one accused in the case, including Sreesanth and Chavan, have been granted bail by a court, while the others, including Chandila are in judicial custody.
