Mumbai police also went to Coromandel Towers (which is the headquarters for both Chennai Super Kings and India Cements) in Chennai to summon Gurunath Meiyappan.
While people at Meiyappan's residence and Police team have refused to comment or speak, it was learnt that the Police have summoned the son-in-law of BCCI President to appear infront of Mumbai Police.
The rumors were spreading that he was in New Delhi along with his team Chennai Super Kings and some have said he was in Kodaikanal along with his wife and father-in-law. While attempts to reach out to Meiyappan was failed, CSK's PR agency has responded Business Standard's query stating “we are still awaiting feedback from CSK. Will share the feedback once we hear from them”.
The developments comes a day after actor Vindoo Dara Singh told his interrogators that he was "frequently in touch" with Meiyappan, which was reported by Media quoting sources in the Police. The police are now trying to verify the veracity of Vindoo's claims.
On Wednesday, Meyappan's name was all over the media after sources in the Mumbai police department have said they were probing the connection between the CSK team principal and actor Vindu Dara Singh, who was arrested on Tuesday for his connections with the betting syndicate.
