On Friday, CBI registered two FIRs to probe the syndicates that were involved in organizing betting on 2019 IPL matches and allegedly influenced the outcome of matches based on inputs from Pakistan.

The FIR registered by CBI in the matter reads that reliable information has been received about a network of individuals involved in cricket betting are influencing the outcome of IPL matches based on inputs received from Pakistan.
