Mohammad Asif

Bollywood actress Neetu Chandra’s publicist Wednesday rubbished Pakistani bowler Mohammad Asif’s ex-girlfriend Veena Malik’s claims that the Indian actress has links with the cricketer, now embroiled in a match-fixing controversy. Veena, however, claimed Neetu was lying. ‘Without any concrete evidence, Ms. Malik is going on and on talking about how she thinks Neetu Chandra is involved with Mohammad Asif. She is probably doing this for publicity, as we’ve heard that she herself has Bollywood dreams,’ Neetu’s publicist Dale Bhagwagar told reporters here.

The 2010 Pakistan cricket spot-fixing controversy refers to allegations stemming from a report by News of the World released during the Pakistani cricket team's tour of England that Pakistani players Mohammad Asif, Mohammad Amir and Salman Butt had accepted bribes from agent and bookie Mazhar Majeed to purposely under-perform at certain points in the 4th Test at Lord's Cricket Ground in London, England.
