New Delhi: Suspended Rajasthan Royals cricketer Ajit Chandila has been sent to a three-day police custody by a Delhi court in the IPL spot-fixing case. Chandila's interrogation will now take place under the provisions of MCOCA in the case.

The court has also directed the police to file its reply on the bail application of Ramesh Vyas, an alleged bookie. Vyas had moved the court seeking relief after being remanded in judicial custody till June 18. ...
