Talking to Cricbuzz, Mruthyunjaya said:
Five arrests have been made in relation to KPL fixing, including four players and one coach. Two of the four players, Abrar Kazi and CM Gautam are former Karnataka players while the latter has represented RCB, Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils in the IPL. Gautam and Kazi were earlier arrested on charges of spot-fixing during the KPL final between Hubli Tigers and Bellary Tuskers. The two players were allegedly paid ₹20 lakhs for batting with a low strike-rate. Bengaluru Blasters bowling coach Vinu Prasad was also arrested earlier along with players Nishant Singh Shekhawat and M Viswanathan.
According to Bengaluru Police commissioner, Bhaskar Rao, cheerleaders were used as honey traps to lure former and current cricketers to indulge in fixing and bring disrepute to the game. Speaking to IANS, he said:
According to an IANS report, KSCA were asked to send a detailed report on KPL, it’s functioning and the recruitment procedure of the players as well as cheerleaders.
