Mohammad Asif's ex-girl friend claims he fixed games
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 fast bowler, Mohammad Asif’s ex-girl friend, Veena Malik has added fuel to the already raging match-fixing controversy at Lord’s by saying that she had evidence that Asif used to fix matches. Malik, who is a Pakistani actress, also names an Indian photo-journalist as a part of the plot.
Malik had had an acrimonious break-up with Asif after the pace bowler’s parents had him married to another girl. Malik had earlier claimed that the two were married. The two had then reached a settlement after a common friend had intervened.
According to Malik, Asif used to get many calls from a single number and she got suspicious of the same. According to her, she first thought that Asif was having an affair with another woman, but when she confronted him, he revealed that it was actually an Indian bookie who was paying him to fix matches. Malik also added that she tried to dissuade Asif from fixing matches, but Asif did not pay heed to her advice.
Malik also claimed that she had evidence of the same: “Asif used to call up this Indian bookmaker and other bookies as well on the phone of his servant. I have evidence of the messages he exchanged with the bookies.”
Malik added that the Indian photo-journalist’s name was Dheeraj Dixit and that the two had spoken very briefly over the telephone once.
Dixit spoke to TV channels in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 and refuted all these allegations. He said that he was a journalist and it was Malik who had called him up to offer him a deal. According to Dixit, Malik said that she was representing Asif and would like to know if he could pay Asif in return for fixing games. Dixit also added that he wanted to probe the story further and hence entertained the call in the first place.
