'Match fixing' scam, Indian ploy to tarnish Pak cricket's image, says Veena Malik

[Zebronic]

Lahore, Sept 7 (ANI): Former girlfriend of Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Asif, Veena Malik, has alleged that the match-fixing controversy is an Indian scheme to tarnish Pakistani cricket.

Indian bookie Dheeraj Dixit, Bollywood actress Neetu Chandra and a model named Paael were involved in fixing cricket matches and she had given evidence against them to the International Cricket Council (ICC), the Daily Times quoted Veena Malik, as saying.

"All clues in match-fixing lead to Indian soil. India is the hub of betting in cricket," she claimed.

She said she had also informed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) about match-fixing but no one " paid any heed to my words."

Malik, an actress and TV host in Pakistan, said that other countries such as England, Australia, India, etc. had also been involved in match-fixing cases earlier, but Pakistan cricket's reputation was being maligned.

She also claimed that ever since she had exposed Indian bookies, Indian media were after her, alleging her involvement in the spot-fixing scandal.

Talking about the spot-fixing allegations against Asif, she said that those who bartered national honour for their personal gains must be punished.

She claimed to have "provided all proof against Asif to the ICC in the larger interest of the country and the game." (ANI)

Neetu Chandra denies match-fixing allegations

Mumbai, Sep 6 (IANS) Bollywood actress Neetu Chandra has denied having any links with Pakistani bowler Mohammad Asif, embroiled in the latest match-fixing controversy that has hit the cricket world.

'Personally, Neetu does not know Mohammad Asif or any Pakistani cricketer for that matter. Her name is being unceremoniously dragged into the match-fixing debate with baseless allegations,' Neetu's publicist Dale Bhagwagar said in a press statement.

'Neetu didn't even know how Asif looked like. Within minutes of this controversy breaking out, I met her and showed her his picture from the internet on my BlackBerry,' her publicist Bhagwagar said.

'Neetu glanced at it and almost jumped from her chair, joking, 'Oh, he's too dark'. She also doesn't know or understand how her cell number has featured on such a scandalous list. If it indeed has, it could well be a conspiracy.'

The actress has featured in films like 'Traffic Signal' and 'Garam Masala'.

Her alleged involvement in match-fixing came out when Interpol and Scotland Yard handed over the mobile details of Asif to the Pakistan Cricket Board for investigation.

The document was prepared by Scotland Yard and Interpol on the basis of Pakistani actress Veena Malik's information and it contains the call details of Asif made in 2009. But it has been leaked.

Reports stated that in the document, the only mobile phone number from Mumbai belonged to actress Neetu Chandra and that she could be involved in the match-fixing scandal.

It was further reported, according to the document, that the actress had made two phone calls and exchanged SMS with the controversial cricketer, discussing sensitive cricket issues and deals.

Neetu was one of the few privileged Bollywood celebrities to run with the Commonwealth Games torch in her hometown, Patna. Apart from being a regular basketball player, the actress is a black belt in Taekwondo, having participated in various martial arts tournaments at the district, national, as well as international levels.

However, she is not a cricket fan, Bhagwagar said.

The match-fixing controversy started when British tabloid The News of the World reported that Pakistani cricketers were allegedly involved in deliberately underperforming in the Lord's Test that England won by an innings to wrap up the series 3-1 here Sunday.

Based on a sting operation conducted by The News of the World, the Metropolitan Police arrested London-based property tycoon Mazhar Majeed, who allegedly lured Pakistani fast bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif to deliver three blatant no-balls at the agreed moment of the game by the daily's undercover reporter. Reports also suggested that Pakistan captain Salman Butt and wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal were also involved.

Betting in some places is legal, in India it is illegal....people doing betting are criminals and are put in jails if caught.

Match fixing, done by Pakistani players representing their nation is a crime and they should be put in jails ala criminals too, right? or you want criminals representing you internationally?
