The chief of the BCCI marketing committee, Chetan Desai, and Goa Cricket Association officials Vinod Phadke and Akbar Mulla, have been arrested by the police for alleged misappropriation of Rs. 2.87 crore.
"We have arrested (all) the accused because they were not cooperating with the investigation. There is evidence against them," Shivram Vaingankar, Inspector of the Economic Offenses Wing of Goa Police, was quoted as saying by Times of India.
The scam came to light after former Goa Ranji vice-captain Hemant Angle reported that a bank account had been opened by allegedly submitting forged documents.
The documents reportedly reflect Vinod Phadke as GCA president, though the association was then led by Dayanand Narvekar.
The three are to be produced in court on Thursday.
