New Delhi, June 8: After the arrest of Raj Kundra over the charge of gambeling act in IPL, Delhi Police has taken his U-turn on that issue. Just 24 hours after police commissioner Neeraj Kumar was on national media claiming that Raj Kundra had confessed to betting in the IPL games, the police are undecided on what to do with theco-owner of Rajasthan Royals.
“We don’t have evidence against Raj Kundra, so can’t arrest him,” said Neeraj Kumar on Friday while talking with media. On Thursday he had said that Kundra was betting in the IPL matches, had lost money, and that his friend and business associate, Umesh Goenka, was a bookie.
Whereas on Friday Raj Kundra said that he was innocent. Kundra said while questioning about his arrest and alleged about gambeling act, he said “As a shareholder in Rajasthan Royals, the investigating team of Delhi Police deemed it fit to question me too. I as a law abiding citizen volunteered to positively respond to the call. I satisfactorily replied to the queries raised by the police and they accordingly allowed me to leave after my questioning.”
Meanwhile Delhi Police officials gave clarification, “Since we are investigating spot-fixing incidents and his name has come up during the interrogation of Umesh Goenka, we will call him again for questioning.”
