Bengaluru, Nov 10: The Karnataka Central Crime Branch (CCB), which is investigating into the match fixing in Karnataka Premier League (KPL), has on Sunday arrested a Haryana-based international bookie in connection with the betting scam and spot-fixing in the KPL.

Sandeep Patil, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) said that this was another big arrest in the KPL match-fixing case.

He said that the arrested bookie Sayyam, a resident of Haryana, had been absconding for a while and was suspected to have fled to West Indies. A look out notice was also circulated against him and he was arrested in the match-fixing case involving Bhavesh Bafna, a 26-year-old celebrity drummer who has entertained the crowds in the KPL and the IPL. Bafna is in judicial custody at present.
