“We will definitely not conduct the KPL tournament matches till the investigation is completed and the final report from the police comes out,” Mruthyunjaya told IANS.
The KPL has been embroiled with several betting scams this year. Since the investigation began after Belagavi Panthers’ owner Asfaq Ali Thara was arrested on September 25, six persons have been taken into custody – Gautam, Kazi, Nishant Singh Shekawat and Vishwanathan of Bengaluru Blasters, their bowling coach Vinu Prasad and Tuskers drummer Bhuvenash Bafna. Police also arrested Haryana-based bookie Sayyam for his role in the old J.P. Nagar case, related to the KPL betting scam.
Latest update is from the Bengaluru police who have served a notice on the cricket association seeking extensive information on the T20 tournament.
