Court orders framing charges of cheating, conspiracy against 4 in 2000 cricket match-fixing case

Agencies
NEW DELHI, July 13: A court here has ordered framing charges of criminal conspiracy and cheating against four persons accused of fixing international cricket matches between India and South Africa in 2000.
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Neha Priya was hearing the case against Rajesh Kalra, Krishan Kumar, Sunil Dara and Sanjeev Chawla. The Chanakaya Puri police station had registered a case against them.
Noting the evidence before it, the court said that the "chain of events, record of conversations, conduct and surrounding circumstances" showed the complicity of Kalra, Kumar and Dara in the deals struck by Chawla with Hansie Cronje (deceased and also an accused) and led to the "inference that they were acting in connivance and were co-participants in the main object of fixing cricket matches for monetary gain."
In an order passed on July 11, the court said there was sufficient material on record to frame charges against the four accused under Indian Penal Code sections 420 (cheating) read with 120 B (criminal conspiracy) and for the offence under section 120 B of the IPC.
The material raised "grave suspicion against each of them regarding their role in the criminal conspiracy to cheat and dishonestly induce delivery of property from the spectators and BCCI during the test matches and one day international (ODI) cricket matches held in India from February 19 to March 19, 2000, between South Africa and India".
"Charges are ordered to be framed accordingly," the court said.
"The transcripts of their call intercepts reveal that during this time, they discussed the team composition for the next upcoming match in a series of matches between South Africa and India (based on the information received by accused Sanjeev Chawla from accused Hansie Cronje); the fixed team scores/ individual scores agreed with accused Hansie Cronje; amount of money to be placed on bets; pooling of money; their odds if the players don't perform as per agreed plan; money transactions during betting/match fixing, etc." the court said.
