The local magistrate&#39;s court directed the Mumbai police today to probe a case against the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and its functionaries for &quot;cheating&quot; the public in the wake of the Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket spot-fixing scandal.u00a0 The local Marine Drive police will now investigate the case and file a report before the magistrate by September. Social activist Naresh Makani had filed a case against BCCI and others, alleging that &quot;all IPL cricket matches were fixed and franchise owners were involved in it&quot;. &quot;Circumstances clearly establish that IPL cricket matches are not arranged as sporting events, but they have been arranged to earn billions of dollars wrongfully,&quot; Makani had said in his complaint. The complaint names functionaries including BCCI&#39;s president who stepped aside, N Srinivasan, along with Gurunath Meiyappan, the owner of Chennai Super Kings, arrested by the Mumbai police. Makani had prayed for a separate case of cheating to be registered against them. The complaint had also mentioned that a 2012 report on anti-corruption measures commissioned by the International Cricket Council, had stated that IPL was ripe for match fixing. u00a0
