New Delhi, May 29 (IANS) Three more people have been arrested in connection with the Indian Premier League (IPL) spot fixing scandal, police said Wednesday.

“Nitin, Monu and Vicky were arrested Tuesday night by the Special Cell of Delhi Police,” a police official told IANS.

Bhupendra Singh Nagar, who was arrested Monday, had revealed the role played by the trio in the scandal.

“Nagar was approached by Vicky, a bouncer in a nightclub of a prominent hotel in Delhi, who requested him to arrange a meeting with Chandila as he wanted to meet some cricketers,” the official said.
