New Delhi, July 30: The Delhi Police is all set to file a chargesheet in the IPL spot-fixing scandal on Tuesday. The chargesheet is being filed just a day before Delhi Police chief Neeraj Kumar retires.

Sources said cricketers including an Indian player are likely to be named in the chargesheet. The chargesheet will be filed under stringent sections of MCOCA and the IPC.

The Special Cell of Delhi Police may also name underworld don Dawood Ibrahim in the chargesheet.

Cops claim that Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Shakeel virtually controlled spot-fixing in the matches during the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Rajasthan Royals players S. Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila along with more than 30 people are likely to be made accused.

Those likely to be named in the chargesheet includes bookies Ramesh Vyas and Tinku Mandi, ex-Ranji player Babu Rao, Sreesanth's close aide Jiju Janardhan and Mohammed Yahya, who was picked up when he was fleeing to Dubai.

The three players of Rajasthan Royals along with 11 bookies, were arrested from Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Delhi during IPL 6 in May.

21 accused in the case, including Sreesanth and Chavan, have been granted bail by a court, while the others, including Chandila are in judicial custody.
