Rauf, who reportedly arrived in Pakistan earlier yesterday following a desperate dash from authorities in India, is not an accused in the spot fixing cases registered by the Mumbai police yet.


“Investigations have revealed that Sunil and Pawan Jaipur, the bookies who fled to Dubai after the scandal broke, bore the costs for Rauf’s stay in a swanky Juhu hotel,” a police officer said. Officials say Vindu used to call the umpire ‘Dada’ and received information from him.
