New Delhi: Ajit Chandila was allegedly paid Rs 12 lakh by a bookie for spot-fixing in last year's IPL but the attempt to manipulate matches failed as the cricketer could not play many matches, Delhi Police sources claimed on Thursday. Interestingly, the sources said, Chandila gave three cheques of Rs 4 lakh each, two of which bounced, after the alleged bookie-cum-fixer Sunil Bhatia insisted on repayment of the money as he did not deliver as promised under the deal.
The sources also said police has issued Look Out Notices against some persons in connection with the spot-fixing scandal besides asking official broadcaster Set Max to provide raw footage of all matches involving Rajasthan Royals. Investigators claimed that Bhatia paid the money to the off-spinner in 2012 and after he could not act according to the fixers, the player was asked to return the money. Chandila, the sources claimed, could play only three to four matches in 2012 and that was why he could not do spot-fixing.
Bhatia, they said, wanted Chandila to return the money. The player then gave three cheques of Rs four lakh each to the alleged bookie but the ones dates December 10, 2012 and February 10, 2013 bounced. However, sources said, the third one was encashed and that they have recovered the two bounced cheques from Bhatia.
"It was arrested player Babu Rao Yadav who introduced Chandila to Bhatia. After getting a hattrick in 2012, it was clear that he would play more
