IPL Betting Scandal: After Arbaaz Khan, Bookie Sonu Jalan Names Filmmaker Sajid Khan
Bookie Sonu Jalan has now named director Sajid Khan in the IPL betting scandal.
Mumbai, June 5: Bookie Sonu Jalan, on whose confession actor producer Arbaaz Khan was summoned by Thane police for betting in the Indian Premier League, has now named director/producer Sajid Khan in the betting scandal. According to media reports, the bookie who is said to have links with underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, has named the "Housefull" director and has informed the police of the director's involvement in betting.
Actor producer Arbaaz Khan, who was also named by the bookie in the IPL betting scandal, confessed to his participation in the betting. According to media reports, Arbaaz told police that he has known bookie Jalan since last six years and that he had bet in the 2016 IPL season.
Arbaaz had also been getting threats by bookie Jalan after the actor failed to pay Rs 3 crore that he had lost in betting to Sonu Jalan.
It remains to be seen if police will act on this piece of information by bookie Jalan. But if the precedence is anything to go by, the coming days may be difficult for the director who has given hits like "Hey Baby" and "Housefull".
