Mumbai, Jun 4 (PTI): Actor Vindoo Dara Singh and Chennai Super Kings principal Gurunath Meiyappan, arrested in connection with the Indian Premier League spot-fixing and betting scandal, were granted bail by a local court on Tuesday.
Meiyappan is the son-in-law of N Srinivasan, who recently stepped aside as president of the Board Of Control For Cricket In India (BCCI). Six bookies too were granted the relief on the bond of Rs 25,000 each.
Vindoo and Gurunath moved the bail applications on Monday after the metropolitan magistrate remanded them in judicial custody till June 14.
The court also asked all of them to not leave the country and report to the Crime Branch every alternate day.
The lawyers of Meiyappan and Vindoo requested the court to grant bail to their clients arguing that their custodial interrogation was not required.
Meiyappan (35) was arrested on the night of May 25 for his alleged involvement in the IPL betting scandal.
He was in the thick of a storm after actor and TV reality show winner Vindoo, arrested on May 22 for his alleged links with bookies, admitted to having placed bets on his behalf.
