LAHORE – Veena Malik, the so called whistle-blower in the spot-fixing scandal, said that Mohammad Asif should be put behind the bars. The glamour girls Veena said her former boyfriend was perennially involved in wrongdoing and should be handed exemplary punishment.
“I would not want to pass judgment about other two players, but I can say with authority that Asif should not be spared. I knew from the beginning that he was involved in corrupt practices. Remember, he tested positive for dope during IPL and he managed to escape with a light punishment. So, I think he should be given exemplary punishment because he has this knack of escaping with light sentences. He had this false confidence that he can escape with all his atrocities. He underestimated the enormity and seriousness of his deeds. Rather misdeeds,” she was reported to have said.
When pointed out that he faces the danger of being extradited and jailed in Britain, she said the law should take its own course. “My only regret is that I begged him to refrain from this kind of activity so that he would not ruin his career. Not only I, but many people tried but he did not pay heed to the advices. So if he is proved to be a criminal, he should rightly be punished – even if he were to be jailed.”
