The Bengaluru crime branch police got a major breakthrough in the Karnataka Premier League match-fixing investigation on Sunday when they arrested an “international cricket bookie”, Sanyam Gulati.

The bookie was in hiding in the West Indies after the KPL fixing scam surfaced and was arrested on the basis of a look-out circular issued by the police. He is alleged to have used the services of an Indian Premier League and KPL entertainer Bhavesh Bafna to influence players to indulge in fixing during KPL matches.

“International bookie Sanyam has been arrested. He is a resident of Haryana. He was absconding in the West Indies. LoC was issued. He is arrested in the case of match fixing done by Bhavesh Bafna,” the Bengaluru crime branch police said on Sunday.
