RAWALPINDI: The police have decided to approach concerned authorities to form a joint investigation team (JIT) to further probe a suspected bookie who was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Unit of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday.
The resident of Shalimar View Baghbanpura Lahore was arrested when he was contacting members of his network based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on the first day of the Test match between Pakistan and South Africa in Rawalpindi on Friday.
Initially, the man, identified by police as Bilal Ahmad, was handed over to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA)’s Anti-Corruption Circle Islamabad. After interrogating him, the FIA shifted him to the New Town police station on Saturday which led to registration of an FIR against him.
