Six people suspected of being bookies involved in the spot fixing scandal in the Indian Premier League (IPL) have been detained in Goa Monday, a spokesperson said.
The six, whose names have not yet been released, were picked up from a resort in Candolim, a beach village located 15 km from here.
"They were in Goa for 45 days, which coincides with the duration of the IPL. They came here from Mumbai," a police officer said.
