Chennai Super Kings owner Gurunath Meiyappan was arrested
here late tonight for his alleged involvment in betting
on IPL matches, threatening the future of the franchise
and continuance of his father-in-law N Srinivasan as BCCI
chief.

"We have interrogated Gurunath based on information we
have. We have gone through the questioning of him in
detail and after due deliberations, we have come to the
conclusion that there is evidence of his involvement in
the offence (of IPL betting) we are investigating. We
have placed him under arrest", Joint Commissioner (Crime)
of Mumbai Police Himanshu Roy told reporters.

He said Gurunath will be produced before a court within
24 hours as per the law.

35-year-old Gurunath was summoned by Mumbai Police for
questioning after actor Vindoo Dara Singh implicated him
in betting.

Gurunath flew here by a chartered aircraft from Madurai a
little after missing the 5 pm deadline set by police for
questioning.

Gurunath reached Mumbai late in the evening accompanied
by noted Chennai lawyer P S Raman.

He was taken from the Mumbai airport to the Crime Branch
headquarters and subjected to interrogation before being
arrested.
