"We have lodged an FIR against them at I P Estate police station and recovered accreditation cards from their possession. We are now trying to find out the authenticity of the accreditation cards and how they got these cards," Additional DCP Meena said.
"Two bookies arrested and sent to judicial custody for getting fake accreditation cards & entering Arun Jaitley Stadium illegally on May 2 during IPL match between Rajasthan Royals & SunRisers Hyderabad. FIR registered under relevant sections of IPC and Epidemic Diseases Act," news agency ANI tweeted.
In what turned out to be the penultimate match of the season before the IPL 2021 was suspended indefinitely, the Royals beat Sunrisers by 55 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The BCCI took the decision of calling off the IPL 2021 after two more players - Wriddhiman Saha of Sunrisers Hyderabad and Amit Mishra of Delhi Capitals - had returned Covid positive tests.
