The Mumbai Crime Investigating Unit (CIU) probing the IPL betting racket has not identified any role of DJ Chetas in the case yet. The police had called Chetas for questioning twice last week and recorded his statement.
On October 30, the CIU unit of Mumbai Police had busted a cricket betting racket and arrested four persons in connection with the case. At that time, the police were on the lookout for six more accused, including DJ Chetas.
