India News: In the latest development in the IPL spot-fixing scandal, Delhi Police have reportedly recovered Rs 20 lakh from the house of one of the relative of tainted cricketer Ajit Chandila on Monday.

The money, suspected to be the payment from bookies to Chandila, was stashed in a cricket kit bag. It is believed that police conducted raid on the basis of inputs received during the interrogation of the 29-year-old right arm bowler.

S. Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan -- all playing for the Rajasthan Royals -- were arrested in Mumbai late Wednesday night by Delhi Police for alleged spot-fixing in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The BCCI Sunday had an emergency meeting in the wake of the spot-fixing scandal and set up a panel to probe it.
