Also, the special cell of the Delhi Police had named 42 as accused in the case in its respective charge sheet and among them, 6 are absconding.

The investigation was being carried out by the police in the case and had earlier come under scanner of the court which had questioned the respective theory of ‘match fixing’, saying there were no solid evidences to prove that the matches were fixed by the respective accused.

Several arguments were being put forward by the police. The police had used pre-recorded telephonic conversations among the accused to support their claim for the matter. Also, the police had alleged those call detail records clearly and it reflected the linkage of accused persons, who were involved in the spot fixing matters during the IPL, 2013.

The advocates representing the accused, had respectively countered the submission of such arguments and countered it as improper evidence for the same.

The police authorities had also filed a 6000 page charge sheet against the various accused in the respective case. In addition to it, a supplementary charge sheet had been filed later on.

Bails were being granted to Sreesanth, Chavan and various others who were accused due to the lack of the evidences against them under the provisions of Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
