The Crime Branch sleuths are certain about the links of accused with some Nagpur bookies. And they are probing the matter from all angles in which some big names of bookies may surface in the coming days. According to police, Bangre’s house is located near Borkar Square in Kamptee and he along with Irfan Sheikh and Hemant Meghlani were busy in betting over the match. PSI Dinesh Lambade, Prashant Barpe, constables Jay Sharma, Pramod Bansod, Amol Nagre, Kalidas Ambadare and other raided the house when the three accused were watching the TV and were booking the bets. The bookies selected Kamptee town since it is very secure as far as safe environement is concerned.
