Accused Chandresh Patel, a bookie arrested by the special cell of the Delhi police, turned bookie after he watched Emraan Hashmi-starrer Jannat which released in 2008.
“Patel told the cops that he was inspired by the role of actor Emraan Hashmi and decided to be a bookie. IPL had its first edition in 2008, and Patel started investing his money in betting. Earlier, he had been minting money in the betting but once he incurred a huge loss and decided to be a match-fixer,” said a police source.
