“Rejecting Delhi Police plea for two more days of custodial interrogation in connection with the IPL spot-fixing scandal case, a Delhi court on Tuesday sent cricketers Sreesanth and Ajit Chandila and two bookies to judicial custody. Chief metropolitan magistrate Lokesh Kumar Sharma turned down the plea of Delhi Police's Special Cell for the custody of Sreesanth, saying he cannot be held liable for what has happened at his back,” says the TOI report.
According to Indian Express, Ankeet Chavan, an accused in the IPL 2013 spot-fixing scandal, was on Tuesday denied bail by a Delhi court which said social stigma cannot be a ground to give him the relief.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Lokesh Kumar Sharma dismissed his plea for bail, which
was sought on ground that his marriage is fixed for June 2 and if the wedding does not take place it will cause harm to his reputation and that of the prospective bride. "The defence counsel has cited reason of social stigma to the families of the bride and groom. Social sentiments cannot be considered as a valid ground while evaluating the grounds of bail. Keeping in view the gravity of offence and conspiracy with other co-accused persons, I do not find any ground to admit accused either on regular or on interim bail. Both the applications are accordingly dismissed," the judge said, according to Indian Express news.
