Gibbs arrived at police HQ in Delhi wearing a black T-shirt and sunglasses. But he would not meet with them while the ICC Champions Trophy was on.
He is being questioned over a one-day match between India and South Africa in 2000 in which he agreed to underperform in exchange for money. Delhi police officials also revealed they would like to interview three former South Africa cricketers but would not reveal their names.

Captain Graeme Smith said: "He's always been prepared to be forthcoming with the Indian police. Gibbs and his attorney visited the Delhi police headquarters, but did not talk to reporters.
"He's looking forward to playing cricket in India and we're looking forward to having him." He travelled to the Indian capital from the South African team's base in Mumbai, where he arrived on Wednesday from South Africa.
Gibbs, 32, was accompanied by lawyers as he arrived four days after the rest of the South African squad for his first trip to India since the controversial tour six years ago as he was afraid he may be detained. "Gibbs cooperated very well during two and a half hours of questioning and he promised to make himself available in future also," Narayan said.
He was greeted by a media frenzy when he flew in to Mumbai before being whisked to the team hotel. Fearing arrests by police, Gibbs and team-mate Nicky Boje have each missed two tours to India since being implicated in the match-fixing scandal, sparked by an admission by late captain Hansie Cronje in 2000 that he had taken money to influence matches.
Cronje was banned for life and later died in a plane crash.
Left-arm spinner Boje was found not to have acted illegally by South African cricket authorities.
He is not a member of South Africa's Champions Trophy squad.
