Former Tamil Nadu Superintendent of Police (internal security), G. Sampath Kumar -- who had earlier probed IPL betting case, was on Friday placed under suspension for allegedly receiving money from a bookie.

Before the IPL betting case was transferred to the Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department, Sampath in his capacity as the Superintendent of Police of `Q` branch, handled the high-profile case.

According to reports, Sampath was suspended because the CB-CID lodged a case against him for allegedly receiving a sum of Rs 53 lakh from one of the bookies, Mahendra Ranka, ostensibly to clear his name in the case.
