New Delhi : Vindu Dara Singh, son of late actor Dara Singh, was arrested in Mumbai on Tuesday for his alleged role in the ongoing spot fixing saga.

According to various media reports, Vindu has apparently accepted being involved in betting.

It is the first Bollywood link that has been revealed.

It has been learned that Vindu acted as a middle-man between bookie Vyas and the cricketers. He used to hang out with cricketers and extracted information.

Vindu Dara Singh, 49, has acted in some movies and serials. He won the third season of Bigg Boss in 2009.

Earlier in the day, former Ranji player Baburao Yadav was arrested in connection with the IPL spot-fixing scandal even as police said it is likely to seek further custody of three arrested players and some bookies.

Yadav, who was picked up from Delhi yesterday and questioned for his links with arrested player Ajit Chandila, has been placed under arrest, police sources said.

It was Yadav who allegedly introduced Chandila to bookie Sunil Bhatia, who is already arrested, they said.

With his arrest, a total of 18 people — three IPL players, four former players and 11 bookies and their assistants — have been arrested since last Thursday in connection with the scandal that rocked the cricketing world.

Police sources also said they will seek custody of three arrested players — Sreesanth, Chandila and Ankit Chavan — and 8 bookies when they will be produced in court as their remand ends today.

Rajasthan Royals had yesterday lodged a complaint with Delhi Police against its three players — Chandila, Sreesanth and Ankit Chavan — accusing them of cheating and other charges.

Two persons, who watched the Rajasthan Royals matches in Chandigarh and Mumbai, had also approached police with complaints of cheating.

BCCI`s anti-corruption unit chief Ravi Sawani, who has been asked to head the probe in spot-fixing by the cricketing body, yesterday held a meeting with Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar and other top officials and offered all help.

Investigators yesterday took Chandila to his aunt`s house in Palwal in Haryana from where they allegedly recovered Rs 20 lakh from a cricket kit which also contained his personal belongings, the official said.

Meanwhile in an another important development, the Supreme Court today rejected a PIL seeking stay on all remaining matches of IPL in view of the spot-fixing scandal.

The Supreme Court, however, has asked the anti-corruption unit of BCCI to submit its report on this matter within 15 days.

A bench of justices B S Chauhan and Deepak Misra rejected the PIL which also sought setting up of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to look into the issues of match fixing and other alleged irregularities in the IPL.
