A Delhi court has granted bail to Sanjeev Chawla, an alleged bookie and key accused in one of the cricket’s biggest match-fixing scandals that involved former South African captain Hansie Cronje.
Special Judge Ashutosh Kumar granted the relief to Chawla on a personal bond of Rs 2 lakh with two sureties of the like amount on April 30.
The court said the accused was in custody for the last 76 days and the probe was already complete in the case.
The court, however, directed him to give his voice sample and handwriting specimen to the investigating officer in the case.
According to police, Chawla, who was extradited from London in February, was involved in fixing of five matches.
Cronje, who died in a plane crash in 2002, was also involved, police had told the court.
Chawla was alleged to have played a central role in conspiring with Cronje to fix a South African tour to India in February-March, 2000.
The British court documents say that Chawla is a Delhi-born businessman who moved to the United Kingdom on a business visa in 1996 but continued to make trips to India.
Sanjeev Chawla was extradited from the United Kingdom.
In his disclosure statement to the Delhi Police, Sanjeev Chawla, the prime accused in the 2000 Hansie Cronje match-fixing case, has said that “no cricket match is fairly played” and “…all the cricket matches which people see are fixed”. He also pointed to the involvement of “a very big syndicate/underworld mafia” that influences all cricket games that, according to him, were like “movies which are already being directed by someone”.
In the statement, which is part of a supplementary chargesheet submitted to the court but doesn’t have the accused’s signature, Chawla revealed before the police that the syndicate had on its target the case’s investigation officer DCP (Crime Branch) Dr G Ram Gopal Naik and that his life was under threat.
The New Delhi-born and London-based alleged bookmaker, while confessing that he was involved in match-fixing for many years, said he could not give more details since “a very big syndicate/underworld mafia is involved in this matter and they are dangerous people and if he says anything they will get him killed”.

When contacted, Special CP (Crime) Praveer Ranjan said, “Since the matter is still under investigation, we may not be able to share any intricate details.”
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police Crime Branch, in its supplementary chargesheet, has also said that Chawla’s non-cooperation in investigation proves his involvement in the crime. In the absence of the High Court’s stay on the trial court’s bail order, Chawla had walked out of Tihar jailearlier this month. Following this relief, Delhi Police has approached the Supreme Court. The matter will be heard next month.
The other accused and Chawla’s alleged associates – Krishan Kumar, Rajesh Kalra, and Sunil Dara – are also out on bail.

The chargesheet details the alleged role played by Chawla and others in fixing cricket matches during South Africa’s 2000 tour of India. It also has the transcript of conversation between Chawla and Hansie which hint at an exchange of inside information and cash between the two.
In the statement, Chawla also says he moved to London in 1993 and was in the “business of clothes” and had shops in London’s Oxford Street. He also said the co-accused — Kumar, Kalra, Dara — were old friends and were also involved in match fixing. After his long stay in London, Chawla became a UK citizen in early 2000. In February this year, he was brought to India after a lengthy extradition process.
