Alleged match fixing in football matches: CBI seeks cooperation of Indian football clubs
New Delhi (PTI): The CBI has registered a preliminary enquiry into alleged match fixing in football matches in the country, officials said Monday.
During the enquiry which started about 15 days back, the CBI has sought and collected documents from the Delhi-based All India Football Federation on several Indian football clubs, they said.
Under the scanner, is the role of an alleged match fixer based in Singapore in rigging the results of matches, they said.
The officials refused to give any details about the suspects named in the preliminary enquiry and details of allegations as it could hamper the probe which is at a nascent stage.
They said the agency has received some documents while some are still awaited.
The agency has also sought cooperation of several Indian football clubs in joining the investigation, they said.
The CBI cannot conduct searches, arrests or question through summons under the preliminary enquiry, they said citing the law.
The central probe agency depends on cooperation of stakeholders during the preliminary enquiry and registers an FIR when it has prima facie material indicating a crime, they said.

Techie-turned-Panipuri seller held in dowry death case in Bengaluru
Bengaluru (PTI): A man who quit his software job to sell panipuri was arrested for allegedly driving his 27-year-old wife to suicide at their residence in Suddaguntepalya, police said.
According to police, the woman, identified as Shilpa Panchangamath, was found dead on Tuesday night. Her mother, Sharada, lodged a complaint alleging harassment for dowry.
Shilpa married Praveen, son of late Shambulingaiah of Vaddarahatti village in Gangavati taluk, on December 5, 2022. The family claimed they spent around Rs 35 lakh on the wedding and gave 150 grams of gold to the groom.
After marriage, the couple lived in BTM Layout. Praveen, earlier employed with Oracle in Whitefield, had left his job and started a panipuri business. The couple has a son.
The complaint alleged that Praveen and his mother, Shantavva, harassed Shilpa mentally and physically for money, demanding Rs 5 lakh for his business. When the demand was not met, she was allegedly assaulted and sent back to her parents.
Sharada said she eventually raised the money and sent her daughter back, but the harassment continued. Four months ago, a quarrel reportedly broke out during discussions about Shilpa’s baby shower.
On August 26, the family was informed that Shilpa had died by suicide. When they reached her house, they found her lifeless on the bed, covered with a sheet.
Based on the complaint, police arrested Praveen on Thursday. Further investigation is underway.
