Vindoo who is currently out on bail, had come to the commissioner of police’s office on Thursday to mark his attendance before the investigating officer as per the court’s direction. Speaking to the media, Vindoo said he had full faith in the judiciary and he was confident of being acquitted in the case.

He accepted that he knew many cricketers not just from India but all over the world but said they had nothing to do with betting. Vindoo on this occasion also defended co-accused Gurunath Meiyappan, owner of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and said he was also not involved in betting.
