Bollywood actor and film-maker Arbaaz Khan has admitted that he used to place bets during Indian Premier League or IPL matches, the police has said. Arbaaz Khan, 50, has told the police in Maharashtra's Thane, where he is being questioned today, that he has been placing bets for the last six years, cops added.

Arbaaz Khan allegedly lost Rs. 2.80 crore to a bookie, Sonu Jalan, in bets on IPL matches and was not paying the amount, following which the bookie had threatened the actor, an official said, citing the interrogation of the arrested accused.

Today, during Arbaaz Khan's questioning, he was brought face-to-face with Sonu Jalan.

The Thane police yesterday issued summons to Arbaaz Khan to record his statement today in connection with the betting racket. 

In a letter sent to Arbaaz Khan, the police asked him to join the probe after the arrest of Sonu Jalan, who was placing bets on the recently-concluded IPL, a police official had said. 

The Thane Police's Anti-Extortion Cell had busted the racket on May 15 with the arrest of four people in Mumbai, including Sonu Jalan, who is believed to be one of the top bookies of the country, officials have said.
