Kathmandu, February 17

Police have arrested one person at the TU cricket ground on the suspicion of betting during the ongoing Nepal-Scotland match under the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2.

The police have not revealed the suspect’s identity.

SP Sanjaya Singh Thapa of the Nepal Police Central Investigation Bureau says the police have already begun an investigation of the case.

With the recent scandal of spot-fixing during the Nepal T20 League, law enforcers have been more vigilant in sports betting.
