According to sources, a “big shot” brought the situation “Under Control” by “pacifying” Delhi and Nagpur police. There were red-hot talk of Delhi police being supplied 5 “Khoke” by the “Big Shot” and spared the Nagpur and other bookies. After getting scot-free, one by one bookie started visiting Nagpur and those who were already in Nagpur raised their ugly heads without fear of being crushed by Nagpur police. Now, their target is triangular matches being played between India, West Indies, and Sri Lanka held in the West Indies.

Nagpur News: The bookies or fixers or gamblers after “lying low” during the last 10 days of IPL-6 and the entire Championship Tournament have descended on the “battlefield” for waging a “war” on betting or fixing front. Now, this time the target is triangular series between India, West Indies, and Sri Lanka being played in West Indies.

According reliable sources, have set up their betting “posts”, of course, with “permission” of Crime Branch of Nagpur Police and other concerned police stations. A prominent business leader handles the “setting” with the Crime Branch which he did this time, too.

The most crucial and nasty fact has come to fore is “Big Chhotu” Agrawal, the father figure of all bookies, has said bye bye to India and has settled in Dubai. It may be recalled that after the spot-fixing scam was exposed during IPL-6 dozens of small and big bookies were arrested by Delhi police and police across the country. However, several bookies dodged the police dragnet and vanished in the thin airs. According to sources, some escaped bookies succeeded in hiding themselves in secret places in various states. Nagpur bookies hunted by Delhi police and Nagpur police also succeeded in arresting another key bookie Sunil Bhatia and some Nagpur’s cricket players. The remaining bookies anyhow succeeded in hiding and were untrapped.

According to sources, a “big shot” brought the situation “Under Control” by “pacifying” Delhi and Nagpur police. There were red-hot talk of Delhi police being supplied 5 “Khoke” by the “Big Shot” and spared the Nagpur and other bookies. After getting scot-free, one by one bookie started visiting Nagpur and those who were already in Nagpur raised their ugly heads without fear of being crushed by Nagpur police. Now, their target was the Caribbean Island at least 20,000 kilometers away from Nagpur and “very close” to the bookies as a TV monitor was enough to begin the betting and fixing the triangular matches being played between India, West Indies, and Sri Lanka held in the West Indies.

This time the bookies played their games with a fierce vengeance as to recover the losses in the previous “battlefields”. And, mopped up bigger and bigger bounties from the two matches. The “Big Shot” who played a crucial role bringing situation to “peace” and set up everything at its place, emerged most bountiful for his “hard work.” The India-West Indies match proved to be lottery or a treasure as hundreds of “clients” had poured heavy to very heavy amounts like the heavy to very heavy rains over India’s victory. And, they were bang on target after India’s performance in Championship Tournament which ultimately India won. However, the match swung from one side to another like a roller-coaster. But India lost the match by one wicket.

“BIG CHHOTU’S VANISHING TRICK”: According to sources, the most-talked and the most-wanted bookie “Chhotu” Agrawal carved out a miracle by escaping the net of Delhi police and also leaving India “successfully.” (Really a miracle. How a most-wanted bookie escape without noticing by a horde of policemen generally present at major airports? Eye brows could be raised vis-à-vis Delhi police). Now, “Big Chhotu” is in Dubai who had already procured a green card. However, “Chhotu” is not the person to be quiet for long period. He, with a partner, is planning to open a big casino. Presently he has “anchored” himself in a ship or cruiser. The father of all bookies may even dare to return to Nagpur. Of course, with the “blessings” of any police. Money can turn Mission Impossible to Mission Possible.
