Arrested bookmakers and cricketers including S. Sreesanth arrive at a district court in New Delhi to face charges of fixing matches. FORMER Rajasthan Royals player Amit Singh has been named as one of the bookmakers involved in the latest Indian Premier League scandal, as fresh allegations emerged that two of the three players implicated in spot-fixing were supplied with female "escorts" as an additional incentive to cheat. Indian Test bowler S. Sreesanth and two lesser known Royals teammates, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chawan, were brought before a Delhi magistrate late on Thursday night and held on remand for five days pending further investigations. Singh, 31, who is believed to have played 23 matches for the Rajasthan Royals between 2009 and 2012, was also formally arrested in connection with the case after being picked up for questioning in the Gujarati capital Ahmedabad. Another six bookmakers were yesterday detained in the southern city of Chennai, home of BCCI president and IPL Chennai Super Kings owner N. Srinivasan, bringing the total number of arrests so far to 17. The scandal broke on Thursday with revelations that the three Royals players had been arrested and flown to Delhi by police after a special unit intercepted more than 100 hours of phone calls between the players and bookmakers in which they allegedly colluded to fix certain overs in recent IPL games. The fallout continued yesterday with claims that the bookmakers also arranged on at least three occasions for Sreesanth and Chandila to enjoy the company of escorts. Indian media quoted sources within the Delhi Police confirming evidence of trysts being arranged for the two players was revealed in phone intercepts. Police sources also indicated to The Weekend Australian that this was so, but would give no details for fear of jeopardising the case. The latest in a string of scandals to rock the IPL has prompted some Indian cricket commentators to call for an end to the Twenty-20 series they claim has introduced an unprecedented level of sleaze and scandal into the game. But Sreesanth's lawyer Deepak Prakash yesterday dismissed police evidence against his client as weak and said the Indian Test player was "totally innocent." Fourteen (bookmakers) were produced yesterday. Somebody at some time may have said he will book Sreesanth but no money, no telephone calls, nothing has been established," he said. Prakash also hit out at claims that bookmakers had provided his client with escorts. "What the Delhi police has said about escorts is suspect," he said. They didn't mention anything about women when they were asked in court. And now suddenly they are claiming this. Sreesanth has played in two Indian World Cup-winning teams -- the 2007 T20 and 2011 one-day international in which India beat Sri Lanka on home turf -- and is the highest-profile Indian player to have been caught in the spot-fixing net. BCCI president Srinivasan has said he was shocked by the revelations, given recent efforts to educate players after five domestic players were banned last year on similar charges, and was particularly "sad that a player who played Tests for India is involved." But he dismissed suggestions the IPL had become untenable. At a Delhi press conference on Thursday, police commissioner Neeraj Kumar detailed how players arranged through signals -- including rearranging wrist bands and watches and tucking hand towels into their trousers -- to indicate to bookmakers when they would bowl a "fixed" over. Yesterday, excerpts of transcripts of several incriminating discussions were also released.
