A Mumbai court has extended former Big Boss winner Vindoo Dara Singh's custody till May 31 in the wake of his role as a middle man in the Indian Premier League (IPL) spot fixing scam.
The court has extended his custody for further investigations. It also extended the custody of Hawala operator Alpesh Patel and bookie Taneja till May 31.
Vindoo's wife Dina Umarova said her husband was being victimized.
"He has admitted he was betting. He has told them everything. So why are they still holding him?" asked Dina.
"You all created a big issue about my husband, who is the greatest man I met in all my life with a big and golden heart. His is a bailable offence, but Vindoo is being victimised by political issues in India," she added.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Police is learnt to have received CCTV footage from a hotel that reportedly reveals shocking information about Vindoo Dara Singh, a small time Bollywood actor and winner of TV reality show Bigg Boss.

In the CCTV footage, Vindoo is seen with suspected bookie Pawan. Earlier it was reported that Pawan had given a gold chain worth Rs 4.5 lakh to Royal Challengers Bangalore star Chris Gayle. (RCB).
