New Delhi: A bookie has claimed that he paid Rs 10 crore to a Sri Lankan cricketer to fix a match. He also alleged that some Indian cricketers are also involved in match-fixing.

He was arrested by Mumbai crime branch a few days back. The crime branch claimed that he was part of an international cricket betting syndicate.

"We had information that the gang was accepting bets on the IPL matches. Based on the information, we have arrested them. The gang is well-organised with having all the betting assessment software with them which helps them in managing their betting business" TOI quoted Deven Bharti, additional commissioner of police as saying.

If govt wants to remove poverty from this country then the critor should be allowed to play for three yrs and an actor is allowed to act for five yrs maximum.Both catagory should not be allowed to enter in to ad.business.Both these catagories are making fools of gen public like various BABAs.They musmerising peoples to loot them and become crorepati without doing any hard work.Laloo said only one thing right in his poletical carrier that is ban on IPL.They are not playing fornation as they and their supporters claims they are playing for money.If they are playing for nation than should placed equal to hockey players who are treated badly by the nation and still doing their best.
