Mohammed Siraj approached by gambler to provide inside information
The T20 fever is spreading over the entire nation with the Indian Premier League season 16 in full swing. Several reports of betting have also come to light from all over the country.
Recently, a gambler from Hyderabad reportedly contacted cricketer Mohammed Siraj in order to recover his money lost through betting.
According to reports, the person, who works as a driver wanted some insider information from Siraj on RCB. The pacer has reported the matter to the BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Unit.
Hindustan Times reported that the cyber police immediately received the information and worked closely with BCCI and ACU to nab the person. The accused contacted Siraj and asked him for his help to help him make money through betting. A BCCI source revealed that the person wasn’t a bookie and worked as a driver in Hyderabad.
“It wasn’t a bookie who approached Siraj. It is a driver from Hyderabad who is addicted to betting on matches. He had lost huge money and approached Siraj for inside information. Siraj reported the approach immediately. The law enforcement authorities have nabbed the man. More details are being awaited,” a senior BCCI source was quoted as saying.
