Bookie Arrested Is Former Royals Player

[aragorn]

One of the bookies arrested, and named as Amit Kumar, is actually [url="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/26789.html"]Amit Singh[/url], a former Rajasthan Royals player who was released by the franchise last year.
ESPNcricinfo has learned that Singh, a fast bowler who played in several matches in the 2012 season, was picked up for questioning five days ago but was formally arrested on Thursday in connection with the spot-fixing case that also allegedly involves three current Royals players. Singh, 31, has been identified in the first information report (FIR) as "Amit Kumar r/o Ahmedabad, Gujarat".
Neither the police nor the BCCI nor the franchise seems to have realised Singh's status - possibly because of the confusion over his name.
Singh, who resides in the Bopal suburb of Ahmedabad, played 23 IPL games for the Royals between 2009-2012. He was also part of the Gujarat Ranji Trophy team in the 2012-13 season, last playing [url="http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/574036.html"]against Saurashtra[/url]. He'd been in the news for having been reported twice for a suspect action during the 2009 IPL.
