Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar said that Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj Kundra has admitted to betting in the Indian Premier League matches.
Kumar said Kundra, who was questioned yesterday over the spot-fixing scandal, admitted to betting during the over-10 hour interrogation.
Police had also questioned Kundra's business partner and friend Umesh Goenka. Sources had said the name of Goenka, with whom Kundra owns a company dealing in steel business, came during the recording of statement of Rajasthan Royal player Sidharth Trivedi, a prosecution witness in the case.
In his statement recorded before a magistrate, sources said, Trivedi claimed that Goenka approached him and sought details about the cricket pitch in Ahmedabad and details about team formations.
Kundra, a British national, has 42 per cent stake in the steel business with Goenka who has 16 per cent shares in the firm, they said.
