Speaking exclusively over his mobile from Delhi, he said, “no, we have not received any response of our first charge sheet filed against these foreign criminals. They will be issued a Red Corner Notice at the “appropriate time”.
“There is a procedure to issue this RCN and it will be followed. The help of Interpol through CBI will be sought for this”, he added.
The RCN is a requests (provisional) arrest of wanted persons, with a view to extradition. An Interpol Red Notice is “the closest instrument to an international arrest warrant in use today. A `Red-corner notice’ is an arrest warrant circulated by Interpol on behalf of the government of a particular country. It is a request from one country to another to arrest and deport the wanted individual.The Interpol does not have the authority to issue arrest warrants in the formal sense of the word, as this is the domain of the sovereign member states..
Delhi Police have issued charge sheets against 39 people including players like Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan, Ajit Chandilia) and several bookies and members of D company who are alleged to have been involved in fixing the IPL matches.
“We shall be filing the supplementary charge sheets on October 8″.
The Investigation officer also rubbished Sreesanth’s claims that he had confessed the charges under mental and physi al pressure from police. “We didn’t treat them like hardcore criminals. Sreesanth has been saying so to build his own defense case”, he added.
