Indian police said on Monday they have arrested six bookmakers in Goa state who were part of a syndicate betting on Indian Premier League cricket matches.

The IPL tournament has been reeling from a spot-fixing scandal which has led to the arrest of three cricketers and 11 bookies, but police said the Goa arrests did not appear to be connected to that case, based on initial probes.

“We have arrested six persons in connection with cricket betting activity,” Goa’s deputy inspector general O.P. Mishra told AFP, adding that investigations were still in progress.

He told reporters that equipment including laptops and mobile phones had been seized from the Goa premises where the bookies, all from Mumbai, had been staying for the last 45 days – since the IPL tournament began.

They did not appear to be involved in spot-fixing from the initial evidence, police said.

Betting on cricket is illegal in India, while spot-fixing is the illegal practice of rigging specific parts of a match for financial gain.

On Sunday the son-in-law of India’s cricket board chief was suspended from any involvement in the sport pending an inquiry into his role in the spot-fixing scandal.

Gurunath Meiyappan, part of the management team of IPL team Chennai Super Kings, was arrested by police in Mumbai on Friday for allegedly betting on matches in connivance with bookies and a Bollywood actor.

The three cricketers are accused of deliberately bowling badly in specific overs in return for tens of thousands of dollars, after striking deals with bookmakers.

This year’s IPL tournament ended on Sunday night.
