A wave of shock swept over the country when the bowler was arrested on spot-fixing allegations. He is currently in custody of the Delhi police and is being interrogated. Although, Sreesanth claims that he is being unfairly framed by a bookie named, Jiju Janardhan and his family considers him innocent, his franchise, Rajasthan Royals has suspended his contract.
2. Ajit Chandila
Sreesanth's team-mate from Rajasthan Royals, Chandila has also been arrested on the same allegations with the evidence being: Rs 20 lakh which was recovered from his cricket kit bag and a transcript of a phone conversation with a bookie which proves him guilty. He, too, at present, is being interrogated by the Delhi police.
