New Delhi: The bail pleas of Rajasthan Royals player Ajit Chandila and four others have been adjourned till June 17 by the Saket court in New Delhi on Saturday. They had moved the court along with players S Sreesanth and Ankeet Chavan, which was opposed by the police.
The Delhi Police has opposed bail for Chandila, saying he is a "key conspirator" in the fixing case and acted at the behest of a syndicate run by underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
The Delhi Police had told the court on Friday that Chandila was directly in contact with bookies and players and had received money to perform as per their directions. "It is reiterated that Ajit Chandila has emerged as the key conspirator in the entire chain acting on behalf of the syndicate...

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. ...
