TN police looking out for local head of bookies

As investigations continued into the betting racket involving IPL matches, Tamil Nadu Police today said they have zeroed-in on the local head of the bookies, who is absconding.
"We have found that one person named Prashant living in Ayanavaram here is the head of bookies involved in betting. He has absconded from his residence. We are probing further into this," CB-CID SP S Rajeswari told PTI.
Investigations continued for the second day, a day after the CBCID arrested six bookies and seized computers, laptops, mobile phones used by them in betting from a high-tech office.
Police sources said efforts were also on to find out about the mastermind of the racket, said to be operating from Delhi.

The betting racket here was busted a day after Delhi police arrested three Rajasthan Royal players, including speedster Sreesanth, for alleged spot-fixing in three IPL matches.
