India’s media continues to salivate over the juicy celebrity details emerging from the recent bust of notorious bookmaker Sonu Jalan.

Last week, police in Maharashtra state arrested Jalan, widely considered India’s biggest illegal cricket bookmaker. The vast number of computers, phones and physical records seized during Jalan’s arrest are providing insights into the scale of his betting operations and the identities of numerous celebrity clients.

On Wednesday, the Hindustan Times quoted a senior official in the Thane Anti-Extortion Cell saying Jalan’s diary indicated that his network of some 50 to 60 betting agents had handled wagers of Rs6b (US$90m) during the recent India Premier League (IPL) season from April 7 to May 27, or roughly Rs100m per match. Interestingly, Jalan reportedly claimed that the Pakistan Super League was a “non-starter” as far as India’s cricket bettors were concerned.

Jalan reportedly told the AEC that his bettors’ winnings were paid out the day after a match, delivered to their homes by local agents or by courier for punters in more distant regions. Indian police are liaising with their counterparts in several other countries to track the flow of money between Jalan’s many customers.
