    "The CBI will investigate the cases of fraud, fixing and illegal betting in sports," he said, adding this unit will act as the repository of intelligence and data related to corruption in sports.
     
    "It will coordinate with other law enforcement agencies of the world and act as a nodal agency to coordinate with state police forces," Sinha said.
