New Delhi: Indian pace bowler S Sreesanth claimed that he  is innocent  and was trapped  in the scandal, who along with others, is involved in a spot-fixing controversy that has stunned the ongoing IPL. Advocate Deepak Prakash, who appeared for Sreesanth, told  Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Lokesh Kumar Sharma that the cricketer is innocent and there is no evidence against him in the case.

The police have not produced any direct evidence against Sreesanth. He is innocent and has been framed in the case.He said police only produced certain excerpts of the tapped conversation of bookies in which Sreesanths name has not even cropped up anywhere. “Sreesanth  is totally broken and now I will try for his bail after meeting him in the police station,” he said.

Opposing Delhi polices plea seeking seven-day custodial interrogation of all the accused, Prakash said the investigation agency has failed to give any preliminary evidence against Sreesanth.Dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans, Sreesanth was brought in the court premises in a separate car with his face muffled up with a black cloth.

The prosecutor told the court that these cricketers had betted and taken money for every ball and runs in every over. The police said Chavan had taken money for the previous match also.The court allowed the polices plea that  five days custody is sufficient for the police to interrogate the accused.
