Item girl Liza Malik approached by UK Bookie for IPL fixing
One of the most popular Item girls in India, Liza Malik, who shot to fame once she proposed a cricketer on the reality show ‘Dancing Queen’, was approached by a UK based bookie.
Liza was offered Rs. 50 Lakh for her services by a bookie named as Razaaq aka Razz.
Liza is a stage performer and quite a few cricketers in the Indian Premier League have witnessed her glamorous shows. She was a regular sight in last year’s edition as well and was well acquainted with the star performers.
The bookie proposed to use her and get the players involved in match/spot fixing. He wanted Liza to put him through to the players she knew, offering them lucrative deals.
Liza was visiting Thailand last week. The bookie traced her there and followed up with handsome offers. Upon her refusal, he even resorted to threats.
"I was in Thailand last week when the calls started pouring in from unknown international numbers. The caller said he knew that I was close to couple of cricketers and asked me to arrange for him to speak to them," said Malik.
"He offered me Rs 50 lakh if I could get the cricketers to play as per his 'equations'. I told him that I am a mere performer and am not acquainted with cricketers, but he kept emphasising on the Bhajji controversy. After I got a little rude with the man, he threatened me with dire consequences if I did not do his bidding. It seems he has been tracking me. He knew where I lived, knew about my family and even knew that I was in Thailand then," she added.
Liza returned from Thailand yesterday and has registered a case against Razaaq. A senior official of the Oshiwara police has confirmed that they have registered a complaint under section 307 which relates to issuing threats through phone calls. The police officials advised her to contact the authorities if the threats continue.
