IPL | Anti-Corruption Unit evicts suspected bookies from Jaipur and Mumbai games

Four suspected bookies were removed from luxury boxes from two Indian Premier League (IPL) venues, both involving Rajasthan Royals, in Jaipur and Mumbai, respectively. According to a report in The Hindu, the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) identified two bookmakers at each venue and handed them over to the local police. The first incident took place during the match between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on March 28.

The ACU handed over two suspected bookies to local police from a corporate box of the venue. The second instance took place during RR's away game against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium on April 1.

The report, however, also claimed that while an FIR was lodged against "both individuals in Jaipur, the case in Mumbai ended up being a possible case of mistaken identity."
