A special squad busted an international cricket betting racket in the wee hours of yesterday, with the arrest of three suspects, including the son of a betting lynchpin from a high-profile Malad society.

Following a tip-off received by Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria, the squad swung into action and raided Manohar apartments in Malad (E) and seized Rs 17 lakh, cellphones, LCD screens and laptops. Sources from Mumbai police said the arrested accused were handed over to the local police station.
