In yet another breakthrough in the war against match-fixing, the CCB managed to arrest two people involved in match-fixing in the KPL. Joint Commissioner of Police Sandeep Patil stated:

“Another case of match-fixing has been uncovered by CCB in the Karnataka Premier League. Bangalore Blasters’ bowling coach Vinu Prasad and batsman Vishwanathan have been arrested”

“The accused were involved in fixing a match of a match in 2018 between Bangalore and Belgavi teams. The accused batted slowly for which he got Rs 5 Lakh. Few bookies are involved who will be arrested,” 

The investigation nabbed its first victim after probing into allegations of match-fixing on October 2. The two bookies against whom an FIR was file were believed to play a huge role in the match-fixing scandal which marred the competition.

Only one of the two suspected was arrested with charges. The CCB took Bhavesh Bafna into custody but the other person involved managed to escape. Bhavesh and Bafna reportedly approached the Ballari Tuskers franchise to give away more than ten runs in an over. The offer was however declined by the bowlers.
