A two-member team of International Cricket Council (ICC) today received tapes
of alleged conversation between West Indies all-rounder Marlon Samuels
and bookie Mukesh Kochar ahead of the January 21 ODI.
"We have handed over the tapes and transcripts to N.S.
Virk -- regional security manager of Anti-Corruption Unit -- and his colleague
Alan Peacock today," Zonal Deputy Commssioner of Police, Amitesh Kumar
told reporters.
Nagpur police which had recorded on January 19 and 20 the conversation
between the punter and the player about the team composition for the match,
had alerted the Indian cricket board of alleged violation of ICC's code of conduct
in the incident.
A four-member ICC team last month visited the city and held
discussion with the top district police officials and had sought copies of the
tapes.
The Nagpur police in turn sought permission from Home Ministry
and External Affairs ministry for handing over the tapes.
The tapes were handed over after receiving necessary permission,
Kumar said.
