Nikhil Chopra raided

Income Tax authorities have conducted a raid on cricketer Nikhil Chopra's posh South Delhi residence in connection with the probe into match-fixing allegations.

Chopra, who was present during the search at his residence yesterday in Defence Colony was also searched by the IT personnel at the airport when he returned from London on Thursday night, IT sources said.

The raids were in continuation of the process started by IT on July 20 when they swooped on the premises of crickters, board officials and bookies.

Chopra was among three cricket players who were not present during the raids as they were away in London to play in a benefit match on July 29.

The other two players were former Indian Captain Mohammed Azharuddin and Ajay Jadeja, whose premises were also raided after their return from London.
