Veena Malik questioned


 

 

Famous Pakistani actress Veena Malik was questioned by International Cricket Council (ICC) officials in connection with the latest match-fixing scandal involving seven Pakistan cricketers.

Veena Malik, the ex-girlfriend of tainted Pakistani pacer Md Asif, had accused several Pakistan cricketers of involvement in match-fixing.

ICC officials questioned Veena Malik after she accused Asif of serial match fixer and his link with an Indian bookie.

Actress-model Veena Malik, has handed over "proof" of his alleged links with Indian bookies to an official of the ICC's Anti-Corruption Unit.

Hasan Raza, who is a top official of the ICC's Anti-Corruption Unit for South Asia, met Malik at her residence here last evening after she alleged that Asif was involved in match-fixing and she had "ample" proof of this.

"I handed over Asif's voice recordings with the bookie and some other related information to the ICC official," Malik told a TV news channel.

"From head to toe, Pakistani players and officials are involved in match-fixing. I had gone with Asif to Bangkok before Pakistan's tour of Australia. Asif told me he was offered USD 40,000 by an Indian bookie to under-perform in Australia but he demanded USD 200,000.

"The Pakistan Cricket Board had evidence of this but no action was taken against him," she said.

In an interview to a private news channel, she had said that Indian photojournalist Dheeraj Dikshit called 17 times to Asif before Australia series to under-perform .

Malik told ICC officials that Dikshit set the stage for Asif in match-fixing.

On the other hand, Pakistan team’s official kit supplier BoomBoom has snapped the ties with Md Aamer after the match-fixing scandal. The BoomBoom is also reviewing the sponsorship deal with Pak team.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief will meet three tainted players, skipper Salman Butt, Md Asif and Md Aamir in London on Thursday.

However, all the tainted players have also been dropped for the warm-up match following English players objection to play with them.

Asif, his fellow pacer Mohammad Aamir and Test captain Salman Butt are at the center of an alleged 'spot-fixing' scandal exposed by British tabloid 'News of the World'.

The tabloid reported it had paid 150,000 pounds to a fixer for three no-balls bowled by Asif and Aamir during a Test match against England.
