Mumbai Crime Branch’s loss is Delhi Police’s gain. After cops in the Capital arrested three Rajasthan Royals cricketers and 11 bookies for their involvement in the IPL spot-fixing racket, questions have been raised whether the Mumbai Police missed a chance to add a feather to its cap.

Cricketers S Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila were arrested yesterday morning. However, on Tuesday, the property cell of the Mumbai Police had arrested three cricket bookies — Ramesh Vyas, Ashok Vyas and Pandurang Kadam — from a flat in south Mumbai’s Kalbadevi area for running a betting racket. During their interrogations, Mumbai police learnt about the involvement of a fourth bookie named Tikku, who is wanted by the police. The police was also on the lookout for a person named Jupiter, also wanted in the case.
