Kamareddy: IPL cricket betting has been shaking the Kamareddy police department for the past few days, which like a noose is tightening around the district senior cops.

Following which, the ACB officials searched the office of Kamareddy DSP Lakshminarayana on Saturday morning. Since, he was not available, the ACB sleuths seized the DSP's house. After knowing this, the DSP rushed to Kamareddy from Hyderabad on Saturday evening. After his arrival, the ACB officials checked various documents in the DSP office and house.
Again, on Sunday the ACB sleuths inspected the DSP's office and questioned him about the cricket betting.
It should be noted here that 18 IPL cricket betting gamblers were arrested in Kamareddy district. Some of them were granted station bail while a few others were freed without cases. The ACB Director had received complaints that the local police had taken bribes and released the bookies. The ACB first arrested and prosecuted a man called Sujay to prove cops' role in the betting scam. Sujay allegedly informed the ACB that the local police had demanded Rs 5 lakh for giving bail to those arrested in the betting racket.

One of the Sub-Inspectors, who were protagonists in the bribery affair, went on leave. Another SI was reported to have escaped and when the ACB officials tried his mobile and it was switched off.
